A western exposure
Be careful that your plants don’t get too much direct light especially if they have tender, dark green leaves. You can alter the amount of light the plants receive by moving them from or toward the window, putting up a sheer Photo of a sunburned leaf on cattleya-type orchid curtain to cast light shade in a too-bright spot, or placing reflective material in a dark growing area to increase usable light. A western exposure is often too hot in the orchid delivery afternoon and north-facing windows are usually too dark. To provide optimum light indoors, place your plants in a south- or east-facing window. A sharp-edged shadow means high light; a soft-edged shadow indicates medium to low light; no shadow at all means the light is insufficient for an orchid to flower.
