On that point Kevin, he did acknowledge that not all of us have the professional sprayers. (not to mention professional time) The minimum he recommended is one of those top-pump hand sprayers. I have one ($10) and it does work very well. I also find that if I touch the tip of the sprayer to the moss and pump the water on it that way it gets wetter faster. I am only guessing that it gets soaked at the core, but my mounts do well as long as I get in there often enough to water them. I also water the bark itself as well as I do the moss.
He also recommended watering at night (horrors!) because the tropics get rain in the evening. If you have a greenhouse full of blasting fans this is okay, but not for most of us. Just passing on the information.
Marih if you only have an orchid or two, soaking them in anything you have will work just fine. When I had only two I ran them under my kitchen sink faucet. Hey, they got wet!! Add a little diluted fertilizer to the water occasionally and you are in business. And......Welcome to the forum!!!
There are NO silly questions, please, just ask away!
