Good Light for growing orchids?

[Cjcorner]

A member contacted me recently and offered me a few plants. These are the babies...and I was wondering if the light coming in from this door should be okay for them? I have one of my "tall boys" watching over them...
Thanks again Rich...the others are out hanging around with the "low light" baskets and when they get a little used to the high light levels out back i'll move them up with the other cattleya types.





I am thinking of making the back door areas into a "phal" shelving area and am trying these few out first. There is a Royal Robe in there I just bought...when it blooms i'll post it.

Connie, all of the baskets were on my front porch.They all were getting heavy filtered sunlight from sunrise till about 11:30 am, then they were getting full sun till about 1:30 pm.Then the sun would be blocked by my building after that. I think that they really needed more sunlight than they were getting under my care. That is why they weren't bloom for me. All of the little ones were under T-5 lights for 14 1/2 hours a day. They were about 2 - 3" away from those lights. You are Welcome ! I really like the phal. that you gave me in return. I will get a kick out of seeing you post photos of the plants that I couldn't get to bloom. Talk to soon, Rich

I will do my best...I am so looking forward to the Mickeys Freckles blooming. I saw one the other day and got to show my mom what yours will look like when they bloom some day.

Orange spectrum,I think led blue spectrum will be more effective.
