    Question Advice wanted! Is this too much shade?

    Hi all!

    Some of my orchids were getting burned in their new windowsill (southern exposure) so I decided to create some sheer curtains. I'm concerned that it might be too shady now...what do you think? I grow mostly catts and mini-catts. This is just regular run-of-the-mill "sheer curtain" fabric from a fabric store. In the picture, you can see the light level now compared to the full sun....light level experts out there, please let me know what you think!

    Thanks!
    ~Becky
