Default Phrag Court Jester vs Angraecum calceolus

Hello group!
I grow in a windowsill, which means space is at a premium, and yes I
already have three rows of hanging pots plus the sill space covered.
The window faces ESE (more or less). I'm not sure which plant needs
more light. My literature suggests both can grow with 'low' light
levels (low for an orchid, that is). I have also read that Ang.
calceolus grows 'damp and shady'.
My opinion is the Phrag needs a brighter situation, and that is how it
is at present. The Ang. is about two and a half to three years old,
but without flowers yet.
Is the Angraecum still too young? Or should I expect flowers and try
to squeeze it into a brighter position? The plant is 4" tall with
leaves about 4" or 5" long.
Thank you in advance!
