| My humidity where I live stays fairly high, but I do not worry over the humidity all that much. I am in the minority on this though. I do not mist the plants, I just water them when they need it. I believe that you are providing great humidity, but no air flow. A fan is a must for orchids roots to be happy. 7-10 days seems like a long time for them to dry, as mine in good humidity and air flow are dry in 5-7 depending upon the size. A bathroom is a great place for mold or fungus to take hold, as they are generally high humidity, and low on air flow. Catts can recover from having no viable roots, pretty quickly, but you need to get a fan for sure.

"If nature ever showed her playfulness in the formation of plants, this is visible in the most striking way among the orchids. They take on the form of little birds, of lizards, of insects, a man, a woman, sometimes like a clown who excites our laughter. They represent the image of a lazy tortoise, a melancholy toad, an agile, ever-chattering monkey. Nature has formed orchid flowers in such a way that, unless they make us laugh, they surely excite our greatest admiration." Jacob Breynius
