I must admit I almost let mine dry, I have even let them dry completely a couple of times but I try and avoid that if I can. I prefer them to be just moist and then water again. In winter the sphagnum never seems to dry out so I rarely water them when potted in sphagnum anyway. The ones I have in coconut I water more regularly.

I would agree that the best flowering comes from higher light levels, especially during winter where I reduce the shade. They seem to flower much better after lots of light during winter anyway, I only use 50% shade in the outdoors.

Great post Fred.
