Thank you so much for your quick response! I was worried about him drying it out like that, but he is a commercial orchid grower so I thought he probably knew what he was doing. Im very new to orchids so I trusted that a man who runs an orchid operation must know what he's doing. I guess my worries were justified.

Ok, so I wont water so much. I was just so worried about them drying out that I thought they might need to be rehydrated, and the orchid bark doesnt seem like it holds any moisture whatsoever. Is it supposed to? I think Ill bring them into my plant room where I can keep them warmer with a clamp light. Should I cover the light with something so its not so bright? This is the only way I can give them more heat. Also, do you advise setting them in a pan of water for humidity? I can do this easily without getting it on the plant.

Thank you sooo very much.
