I have a question about the possibility of rot - I know people are saying its not a problem in the open - but what about an extremely humid area like Florida. With roses we call it the Blackspot capital of the world and some things that work on blackspot (a fungal disease caused by wetness and humidity) in other parts of the country aren't strong enough here. Admittedly my orchids will not be out in the open where they will be rained on, but they will be on the back porch and could get covered in dew every morning. (Thankfully its and east facing porch but it only gets some lightly dappled sunlight.) Could rot be a problem - ie, should I be very careful of the dampness with them?
I've only had them about 48 hours at this point.
