| One solution would be to place them in the rooms that don't get enough light and add supplemental artificial lighting - with minimal effort you can come up with something that is quite nice for low light level orchids - such as phals, paphs, etc. Is there any way to put shears or some other type window covering over all or part of your bay window? I put shears across my office windows for just the three hottest most direct sunlight months of the year. I think you should be able to get high light requirement orchids to do well as long as they are back a few feet from that bay window and slowly aclimated. It most certainly is a challenge for many of us who don't have greenhouses and have to make do with the best we can with portions of our living quarters. Good luck! Mike |
