How Much Sun Is Needed?

I went to the floral bazaar few weeks ago since I missed the floral parade. There were lots of orchids sold at the bazaar and I was having trouble choosing for a relative who truly loves orchids. I already have a few at home and have no intention to add to the collection. After all I’m not really into taking care of orchids, just to try a few at one time. In the end, I bought 9 pots of them in different colors but I think same species. I’m sorry I still can’t tell between Vanda or Dendrobium though I tried to differentiate them by browsing the piles of gardening magazines I bought..huhuhu..


Now the problems start to arise when it’s extremely hot outside for few days and I dont have ample shady space. While waiting for the relative to come and collect her orchids, I noticed that few pots have burnt leaves, must be the sunburn.

I’m checking the Internet at the moment on what I should do to at least save the plants, and I found few related sites which could help. Check this one out. These directory of orchids blogs do help to (at least for people like me) see the gorgeous pictures of the flowering orchids. I hope there’s still hope to save the burning leaves. :)
