I heard that direct light is a big no-no for moth orchids. Do you mean that moth orchids can tolerate some direct sunlight?

Yes, that is correct. Moth orchids, like most orchids, are sensitive to light and prefer indirect light. They can tolerate very minimal direct sunlight, but this should be avoided if possible. 

If your orchids are exposed to direct sunlight for too long, it can cause their leaves to burn or turn yellow. It can also lead to excessive transpiration, which can cause the plant to dry out quickly. In general, it's best to place your moth orchids in a location where they receive bright, indirect light, such as near an east- or west-facing window, or a few feet away from a south-facing window. 

It's also worth noting that the tolerance for direct sunlight can vary depending on the climate you live in. For example, orchids in temperate regions may struggle more with direct sunlight compared to orchids in tropical regions. It's important to understand the light requirements of your specific climate and adjust the care of your orchids accordingly. 

If you're unsure about whether your moth orchids are getting enough light, there are tools available to help you measure the light intensity. 

Overall, while moth orchids can tolerate some direct sunlight, it's generally best to provide them with bright, indirect light to ensure their optimum growth and flowering.
