"An orangery should ideally face south to maximize sunlight throughout the day. However, an east-facing orangery gets morning light, while a west-facing one receives evening sun. North-facing is the least ideal, as it gets less direct sunlight."

"I would expect South facing would be best although not in direct sunlight."

"South facing is the way forward to keep your orangery in the best condition
Obviously places with most light is best but varies on region etc"
