I love everything about that picture down to the siding on the home!

This feels so contradictory as I’m writing it, but after seeing your photo I’m wondering if my plant may not have needed as much light and heat as I thought it did when I mounted it…It was getting drenched in full sun throughout the heat of summer, but it’s solitary new growth(it’s a seedling)kept slowly getting bigger and slowly putting out new roots so I was just glad it was doing something normal. I feel like I’m hot garbage with Cattleya types except for the 2 nodosa hybrids I got recently—those things laugh at the sun!

There are very few orchids that want blazing, unfiltered sun all day. A bit of shading brings down the leaf temperature - high ambient temperature is OK, it's the direct heat + light of the sun that can toast leaves.

About a week ago, I mounted one of the nodosa hybrids about 14 inches away from the coccinea hybrid on the same tree—the nodosa loves that spot;roots that looked dead and broken are sprouting little root tips all over now and it has a new growth poking through from somewhere within the rootball it made within the 2” pot it came with. Perhaps shading that coccinea hybrid with another nodosa hybrid or two would work out well for everyone

My coccinea gets direct sun maybe 10% of the time, early morning hours. The remaining 90% is light from an unobstructed north window. And it blooms.
The best indicator are red strikes along the leaves' middle vein.

I took this picture at 1PM; it has just started getting full sun and will endure until shade comes back around 3PM…Late spring and summer is another story—it gets the first rays of dawn till 8AM, shade till 11AM, full sun till 4PM, then growing shade till dusk.

Note the slender shadow on the tree just ‘underneath’ the plant—at least that nodosa hybrid is trying to help!

Note that I modified my previous post. Instead of obstructed I changed to unobstructed.

I think they like bright light but in habitat, regarding full sun, remember the temps are much lower so leaves' overheating is not an issue.

If you search for cocineas photos in habitat you'll notice that most of them have limitations regarding direct sun light. Also, all the info you'll find about its culture mention bright indirect light.
So, your best bet is to let it get some sun but only during the hours when it's weaker.

you will kill a species coccinea in a few weeks.

they do need good light but the heat will kill em faster than overwatering them. even reflective heat off a window can burn them up.

this one was from Sam Tsui and lasted a few years in Texas but alas the heat knocked it out.
lots of sun = lots of anthocyanin comes out in the leaves like you see. It really had too much light.

and these pictures are most from summer 2023. 2024 been kind of a re building year after some way too cool days and wet nights made some ugly plants for me with no flowers
