I watched the videos and am a bit perplexed by the watering you do. It actually answers some of my questions about how you water orchids indoors without flooding the floors - sparingly. I move all my phals which are still indoors to the outside and then flood them with water until it runs out the bottom. I then let them dry out a bit and move them indoors. I do this once a week. You water daily. Wow! I don't know if I'm willing to devote that much attention and time to just my orchids. There is so much else to do.

I also water my outside orchids in similar fashion by thoroughly soaking them. I don't spray the leaves except as part of the soaking process. Maybe I should do a similar thing and do a sprinkle in between? I only do that (when I think of it) to the vandas.
