Some of the species vandas (I live in a sunny, subtropical part of
Australia) seem to need quite shady conditions **here**. Some tropical
climates can be fairly cloudy as well, it should be remembered.

My V. javierae did no good at all until it went under 75% shade, V.
coerulescens and V. whossname (used to be yellow coerulescens, damn my
aging mind) are under about 60%, as is V. coerulea. Everything else
(except V. teres, V. denisoniana and V. luzonica) are under 50%, but the
luzonica seems to be getting too much sun.

Cordially, Phil
