Hi! Have lots of questions and just got a phal

I am also really new here, but I seem to have pretty good luck with my Ochids so far.
I have been spending most of my time reading in the fourms and one thing I have learned is the best location for light is E./S. but not straight S. as it is too bright and hot. If that is your best window then they say you should have a sheer between your plants and the window when it is a very bright/hot day. Also humidity can be provided by setting some plants next to your orchid that requires a tray. It dosen't really matter what kind of plant as long as they don't compete for the same space height/width wise. Hope this helps some. You will like it here I sure do...Bobbi Jo
