I don't water every day but I do mist it (including any roots that have wandered above ground) many times a day. Our humidity here is rather low - about 40% - so is it safe to water more? It's in fine bark in a pot that has excellent drainage, so I don't think watering it more often would rot it, but since I did manage to nearly kill a paph watering it once a week (it was living in a humid bathroom then), and I nearly killed this one by probably overwatering so I'm a little (a lot) scared to try more watering.

So I guess what all this is nattering is about is: do you all think I should try watering twice a week (or perhaps more); moving it closer to the window or both - or something else?

For what it's worth, it's got a lot of nice, new growth - which makes me happy, since as I mentioned, about six months ago, it was nearly dead.
