Culture Question-Neos and Darwinaras

Hi Guys,
I have a mounted Neofinetia falcata that is mounted on a piece of bark with no moss at all, as well as a Darwinara charm blue star. Should these be treated like my water twice a day vandas? Thanks

Check the name of the second orchid. It's Darwinara Charm 'Blue Star' All of the names are capitalized and the last 2 in single quotes.

The Darwinara is a cross between Neof. falcata x Vasco. Tham Yuen Hae, which makes it vandaceous so it should receive good vanda culture, however it's impossible to say if you should water it twice a day like your vandas because we don't know if your vandas are potted, basketed, or just hanging bare root. Also you mention that your Neo is mounted (thus probably requiring more frequent watering or higher humidity) but don't mention if the Darwinara is potted or mounted.

Also Elitebettas, could you update your profile too? I don't know where you're from and what to suggest.
