Neos dry out daily - problem or not?

My two neos and one sedirea in sphagnum all get excellent air flow - and dry out nearly every day. Do they need re-wrapping in more moss or are they just getting enough air flow?

Do you have them indoors or out? I can't remember if you are in an arid area or not. I'm assuming you are. Keep them moist, but not soppy. Like Phal conditions. When the outside of the spagh gets crunchy it's a good indicator of time to water. Now in winter they like to have a drier watering schedule and you can water them less.

They're currently indoors due to what I paid for one of the pots!! but in an open window. I live in a coastal area, so humidity is about 50% - 70% day/night. They all are growing like mad - the new neos have new leaves already - but they're drinking a lot!

Sounds like they're just getting plenty of air. I'm watering mine every day to every other day. Mine are also setting next to my Phals and a couple of Paphs by an open window.
