Outdoors is fine, with the following caveats:

1. Don't move it out until 50° nighttime lows or higher are certain.
2. Transition it into brighter conditions, don't just taker it straight
outdoors.

I grow mine hung up with vandas here in PA, so I know they can handle it
pretty bright, but I think direct NC sun might be a bit too much, based upon
my experience growing in SC.

rg...
I have a Sharry Baby that finally decided to take a break from
trying to out mass the cat (as in feline) and has started two spikes.
There is no way it can fit where it currently is when it gets around
to blooming. I'm looking for some sort of lighting so I can move it
to an end table, and any suggestions would be appreciated.

If anyone has any experience growing oncids outside in North Carolina
during the summer, that may be an alternative solution.
