Growing phals in moss in a wardian case/orchidarium

I have set up two cases with phals. After some problems with heat units(northern Canada) they are happily growing new roots and buds. Humidity is 70-80 range and temp is about 75 degrees during the day.My concern now is the commercial moss mix that they came in. While neither unit
is completely sealed, the moss in the pots is not drying out. I am worried that root rot may set in. I have not transplanted because the poor things arrived on the -30 C day and had to recover from the shock. Firstly, should I remove the moss and replace with something else? If so, does anyone have any recommendations on an optimal mix?

Thanks.
