Should outdoor orchids and ficus trees be placed in the sun or shade?

Most orchids will do best in a filtered light environment, such as under a tree with a high canopy. That will allow it to get lots of bright, indirect light. As far as a ficus, it can tolerate full sun as long as it has been acclimated to it a little at a time. If you put a ficus outside in full sun from a sheltered, indoor place, it may get very angry at you and drop all it%26#039;s leaves at once. (It may do that anyway, even if you don%26#039;t. They%26#039;re kind of picky that way)
