Nancy if it helps, when I water, I just scoop some of the water onto the arial roots until I am sure they have been well wetted. They turn green after this, a sign to me that they have gotten enough water. If I get some water onto the plant or crown I dry it with a paper towel or cotton swabs. I also tip mine on their sides after watering to dry the crown, but mine are well rooted and the bark has settled and compacted into the pots.
