No orchid, except possibly ludisia, but that gets way too big for a wall planter. Frankly, I'm more of a fan of pothos in a wall planter. Very dramatic and they tolerate shade well.

Here are some pics, still too shady ?

I should add that this part of the house rarely requires any additional light sources as it is an open plan with a large bank of windows opposite this wall as well...

These shots were taken with morning light, this is on the west side of the house.

Yep, too shady. And I'm not sure a clivia would be appropriate either, those get HUGE! And to bloom they require lower temps during the winter. I would definitely put pothos, philodendron cordatum, or ivy there. Preferably pothos or philo since ivy right there will probably get spider mites.

thanks, Terp. I'm not worried about the Clivia blooming, just being a healthy plant, and if it gets too big we'll just transplant it and put another baby in there. At Clivia's growth rate I should get several years out of one small seedling. Thank you so much for your advice.

Agree with Terp. Too dim for orchids.

Thank you, Jane. I appreciate the opinions.
