LIGHT Moth orchids like bright indirect
light. They will thrive in eastern, or shady western or southern exposures. You may
also be able to get some blooms in a bright northern window. Do not place
phalaenopsis in full sun. Let the foliage be your guide: leaves should be medium
green, and firm. Floppy long dark green leaves means that the phal is not getting
enough light.
Excessive dark reddish
pigmentation on the leaves may indicate excessive light which can result in fewer
and smaller flowers. Phals can also be grown very well under lights, especially
fluorescent tubes.
In general, aim for foliage that is a light green in
color. If your plant blooms well then that means it is probably getting optimal
light.

Medium green firm leaves indicates this phalaenopsis
is getting enough light. The very slight reddish tinge near the base indicates that
no more light is necessary.
