| I have double shade cloth over my more sensitive orchids & my phals & still get to much light. I get strong sun 3/4 of the day right now so, even with double shade cloth they get plenty of strong light and some very early morning direct light. My Cyms get good strong sun in the morning then are shaded by a single layer of shade cloth the rest of the day. I just checked the light with my cheapo meter & it says I am getting 6k foot candles of light over the the double shaded area. I sorta doubt that this cheap thing is that accurate but, to say the least , they still get plenty of light. I would not put your light sensitive phals or other light sensitive plants under one layer of cloth. It would be to much light & they would burn. Thats from expierence. I would put my cyms out there first I see how they did then slowly put others out and see what happens.
Good Luck |
