I am still trying to figure out the watering scheme for my orchids. Some are in bark while others I bought came in moss. The moss seems to last longer but the ones in bark are needing water much more often. I have discovered humidity in the room plays a big role as well. If it's 50% humidity, I have to water twice in the same week.

One thing Jerry stated was that the standarding water is the problem. If I have plants in new bark and the posts have slits up the side, can they be watered much more frequently without impact?

Although most seem to prefer bark, I think that moss may be better for the Phals and other orchids requiring moisture. If you use both, what is the mixture?

Thanks.
