Smile hello, everyone.

I am here for my first time. The reason being that I just re-planted a beautiful specimen that I received while in hospital. I believe I potted it correctly in medium purchased for that purpose and bought a pot for orchids. I have been watering my plant by imersing the entire pot in the kitchen sink to saturate the medium without leaving it there for an extended period so as to not drown the roots and then draing thouroughly. My plant seems to be doing just OK. My questions today are minimal. 1. Am I watering correctly or can anyone give me other suggestions? 2. Is there a need to fertilize and how does one go about it?
I am sure these questions have previously been answered, but I haven't been here long enough to do any research.
Thank all who may help me in advance. p.s. I live in Pueblo, CO, if location matters.
