I have several different Bletilla cultivar in my garden, Buffalo, New York zone 6b. I have found that growing them in full sun, but with a cool root system like clematis, shaded by evergreen ground cover. Fixes a lot of the problems that you mentioned.. I just posted a video on my channel about my Hardy orchids.

Thank you for this video. I would like to see more videos going to more details about watering and potting media needed to maintain the survival of orchids at home. I have a various orchid types at home. Overwatering seems to be the major issue for most orchid growers. Orchid disease is next.
