Does the Phalaenopsis orchid fear the sun, and what should be done if its leaves dry out after sun exposure?
In the morning, when you open the curtains and look at the Phalaenopsis orchid on the balcony, should you let it get some sun? Some people say, "Flowers need sun to bloom vibrantly," but you also worry that too much sun will make the leaves dry up like greens that have been drained of water, which is really puzzling. Phalaenopsis orchids aren't unable to get sun; they fear that kind of "harsh sun." Their native environment is under the shade of trees in tropical rainforests, and they simply can't grow in places that are exposed to strong sun all day. So if you're growing them at home, you need to find a "semi-shaded" spot for them - the slanted morning sun before 9 a.m. is fine for a while, but the strong light at noon and in the afternoon must absolutely be blocked. Healthy Phalaenopsis orchid leaves are glossy, thick, and neatly edged. If they get too much sun, the leaf tips first turn scorched yellow, and in severe cases, the entire leaf will wrinkle and turn gray, feeling dry and rough, as if it has been roasted.

The leaves of a Phalaenopsis that were neatly arranged at first quietly lean to one side before you even notice, and some even curve like a crescent moon, which looks really awkward.
