Lighting for dendrobium antennatum?

[astrid]

Hello everyone.

I am unclear on how much light to give my den antennatum.

I read online in several places that it prefers bright, indirect light. Maybe something between an oncidium and a cattleya.
The grower I bought it from stressed *no* full sun.

However, I see some of you on here who seem to have acclimated your den antennatums to bright or full sunshine. I swear that I have even seen once or twice people with massive dendrbium antennatums growing outdoors with minimal shading in Florida!!

So what's going on?

I am currently giving a brassavola nodosa some light through a shower curtain, and it is getting purple speckled leaves. I have been putting the den antennatum in the bright light near the brassavola for 30 minutes or so at a time, then moving it to bright shade while I do my work.

I just don't know what's optimal for this plant and can't find a firm, conclusive answer.

Thanks for any tips and help!
