Zygotera, zygolum,zygopetalum outside in summer

I live in northern Ohio and we are going on vacation. Most of my orchids will remain outside in the trees. Would it be safe to hang these orchids under the trees for several weeks? We will have...

Water marks on Zygonesia or Cochleanthes

Would love to put these plants out on a cool,cloudy, rainy day but I am afraid of water marks like on the zygopetlum. I have a new fan on my Cochleanthes so when should I see a bud form?

I can only hope! I have at least 6 fans so I feel like I need that width in the pot, however when I did repot there was not much mix left but roots looked good. Sun comes at a premium in Ohio in the...
