Need Advice About How Much Light for roth. Hybrids

[Jpari]

I am curious about what the experts do in this situation. Do you grow roth x Parvi. hybrids and roth x Brachy. hybrids in very bright light like the other multi floral type roth. hybrids or do you give them more subdued light like a Maudiae type Paph.? I have wondered how to grow these types of hybrids for quite some time and now it is time to see what others do in order to grow these well and flower them. Thanks in advance for any help that you may provide.

As a general principle, I give my plant as much light as they can take without burning. Paphiopedilum rothschildianum and its hybrids can take at least as much light as a cattleya. If adapted to the light from spring, I've found that sun from morning to around 1pm is fine, even when the daytime temperature approaches 100F.

same, 'higher' light for all roth hybrids cf pure parvis, maudiaes etc
