Sunny shade?

Hopefully not too sunny..........Phals are happy in 90% shade and if they
get direct light at all that could cause a problem.

Both species are heavy shade lovers and that would be my primary concern.

As for the bugs I don't know what it's like living in your area but I grow
plants outside with few problems.

I have 6 Phals and Paph. I have had them inside for a few years under a
wonderlite and they have always done beautifully. I use hydroculture on
all
of them. I recently built a Koi pond outside and I live in NJ. The
sunlight
is sunny shade and would be perfect for them around the rocks of the pond.
My question is if I move them outside would I have a real problem with
bugs,
mites, and all those creepy crawlers getting into the plants? And what
types
of measures should I take before moving them outside? They would all be so
beautiful outside and I think they would love the humidity by the pond
especially now in Jersey since it's been so hot and humid recently.
Another
question is with the hydro am I going to have to run outside all the time
when it rains to bring them in because it will ruin the concentration of
the
nutrient solution? I know it's a few questions in a post but I really
didn't
feel like posting a few times )

Thanks,
