I thought my conditions were direct sun early in the AM and then transitioned to bright shade shortly after. It seems I am wrong, I get full sun where all the plants are from about 7:30-1. Obviously this is great for the catts, vandas, and catasetums!
I try to use the AC sparingly (it generally doesn't get all that hot here) so having the plants indoors by the south window with some artificial light is probably equivalent to bright shade.
If adding a few panels of shade cloth to my outdoor setup to make a small area for the less light loving plants to hang out, I'd be happy to do so. Heck, depending on how they do in the new winter setup I'm going to try, they may never see natural light again!
