    I grow my vanda types in about 40% shade till about noon. They are in about 60% after that. I have a bunch of terete crosses of TMAs and JVBs that are in pretty much full sun but they didn't start out there. It was a gradual move.
    I think you grow vandas quite hard if you can keep up with the requirments needed...much humidity and air movement. Most of us can't provide that.

    Thanks all. If I can't make a few vandaceous orchids happy here in FL, then shame on me! I guess the two little rescues must be liking their home hanging in my front pindo palm. One is putting out a new leaf and the other more roots. I'll keep you posted, Cathy.
    Cheers
