The Dend seemed ok first day out ( use your cheap one to experiment with)
oncidiums are temperamental to me and I'm leaving them under the eave of the
house where they see the sun rise and that is it.

I'm more scared of the killer squirrels and what ever ran off with my bird
feeders and suet cage!

Another thing I was thinking, I have 2 Catts that are outside on my
deck. The deck gets real hot and direct sun from around 11:00 till
6:00.
These plants can take the hot sun (I am in Southern New England). Do
you
think my Denrobiums and Oncidiums would be OK on the deck until they
spike?
Oh, yea- when my plants are in bloom I have them in my living room.
They
are in a bow window that has western exposure. They do GREAT there-
the
sun-loving ones nearer the glass, the others more toward the room. I
also have a dried flower arrangement in the very front of the window
that diffuses the direct sunlight. They get direct light from about
2PM
on...




Sorry I meant to say I had Cymbidiums on the deck!!

Yea, I know, The Cymbidiums are built like tanks, though. I have a
commercial grower here that I buy from, and he told me to leave them out
until it gets cold. Still wondering if I should move the Dens and the
Oncidiums out there...
