| Ok, This is another question regarding my Epidendrums,, Recently my neighbor cut down his Large tree that provided shade from about 1:Pm until the sun sets, and that was all the full sun my Epi would get.
So now I have a full sun area ALL day long, should I move her so that she can now get more sun light as opposed to only around 5-6 hours? I've heard they thrive in sun but I just want to check with those who have experience. Thank you, Greg |

| The more sun the better for the tough old warriors that are used as garden plants around here. Some of the better hybrids that are put into shows or shown at monthly orchid society meetings are grown under shade-cloth that is filtering all day sun. Too much shade results in taller, lanky plants that are untidy. |
