I am growing epiphllums or orchid Cactus I was told that they need 70 % shade but they can take more sun . the poly is alternating sheets of narrow strips of clear and wider strips of dark green. There is a good bet of light in there. I have 60% shade cloth on the west and south side of the house and 40% on the other two side. When the summer sun comes back I may need to add more shade. the shade cloth and the plastic is just clamped on so it will be easy to change.

As to the cold as long as they do not freeze they seem to be alright. I had one that was left outside all last winter and it not only survived but bloomed last summer.
