Indoor windowsill growing - seeking orchid recommendations

[Orchidaceae]

Hi guys,

It's been a while since I last posted! I have moved to a new place in San Diego (Southern California) where I have a west-facing windowsill. It gets a lot of direct sun and my cacti thrives in this blazing hot windowsill. My cymb gets the same sun (but i grow it outdoors), and even it gets sunburnt. However, I'm more keen to change this windowsill into an orchid haven with the introduction of some shade cloth. I was wondering if I could get some recommendations on how to go about doing that, and what sort of orchids would be best grown indoors under shade netting?

The sill is about 1.5'X3.5'. There are blinds behind the sill so that I can create a micro-environment by using humidity trays. Should I use 50% shade cloth? I can probably only grow smaller plants given that small space. I have phals grown in sphag in teak containers at work, which are thriving, so I'm looking at other species. Perhaps, zygopetalums, miltonia, dendrobium, cattleya or the like. I have experience in growing phal-like dendrobiums, but not the nobile kind. (I've also grown oncidiums, ascocentrums, vandas, minicats, but in tropical asia and not in San Diego). In addition, I'm also wondering about stagnant airflow.

Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks!
