Not if you water "properly". I water until the velamen ( outer layer of orchid roots) changes color. Under my conditions naked roots like that are really dry within 24 hours, so I water pretty much daily. You must have good air circulation and those Cattleyas really want to be sunny.
Right now I see lots of really good root growth on many of my Orchids.
