How do I know if my orchid is getting too much light

Pale or Yellow Leaves If your orchid's leaves are turning pale chartreuse, yellowish, or even white, it's likely getting too much light. 

Orchids grown under excessively bright conditions will be stressed, with leaves that are shorter, thicker, and hard in texture

Leaf Burn One of the clearest signs of too much light is leaf burn. The leaves will develop brown or black spots and streaks, especially on the tips and edges

Slow Growth An orchid getting too much light will grow slowly, putting out only a few new roots at a time. It may also fail to bloom or produce only a few flowers

Leaf Color Most orchids have vibrant, grassy green leaves when getting the right amount of light. If the leaves are very dark green, it's a sign of too little light.

To prevent leaf burn and other light-related issues, gradually acclimate orchids to brighter conditions over the course of a week or two. 

Use sheer curtains to filter direct sunlight. Monitor the plant closely and move it to a shadier spot if the leaves start showing signs of stress.
