Diane,

There are some plants in nature that perfer not to grow in the full sun.
When their environment changes (storm damage, logging, death of the
surrounding trees) these plants will grow toward the shade and the more
hospitable environment.

I don't know the culture for your dendrobium but it is not unreasonable that
it would grow toward the best environment.

Now, go out and enjoy your patio and quit working so hard!

Good Growing,
Gene

Gee, that's too easy! now another thought. If the plant is getting a
little
too much sun will the new leads grow away from the sun? Or grow towards
the
sun if it wants more? I think I have a dend King.that is like that- looks
like its blowing in the wind. how can I correct that, if possible?

One of my problems is that I was so busy since I moved here 1 1/2 yrs ago,
that I don't even know how much sun my patio gets during the day. I
certainly have no time to be on it!
