Is this Phal getting too much light? Male
Default Is this Phal getting too much light?

I have a little Phal that I got back in January I think, and it’s been hanging out with my African violets until I moved it to a brighter spot for the past 3-4 months. Anyway, the first leaf that has grown under my care was pretty upright compared to the leaves it already had. It also came out kinda dark with red spots that were apparent at the underside and base of the leaf. Otherwise the leaf looked gold to me, but I’m new to orchids lol. It was somewhat smaller that old growth but I figured it was repotting stress.

Anyway it’s been growing some roots lately and shed the two oldest leaves (small). It’s now putting out a new leaf, that is also reddish, but looks wide, and not what I would counsider in anyway etiolated. In other words, it looks like its getting enough light.

HOWEVER, according to my research, the light level where I have it is horribly insufficient (~50fc), but the plant looks ok to me, and seems to be getting strong sun features (red tinged, upright leaves). Intensity AT the window is ~2700fc). So, sorry for the rambling, but I would like to know if experienced growers could look at my plant and tell me if it looks like it’s getting enough light. Too much? Not enough?

The last pic show the Phal on top of my computer, this is where it lives. I guess it’s about 6ft from the window. It is eastern exposure. In Phoenix AZ.
