Be sure to spray or mist the leaves of both those plants fairly often. They both like high humidity, and absorb a lot of water and nutrients through the leaves - almost as much as through the roots.

You really can't treat them like regular terrestrial plants and assume that because the soil is moist they don't need water. Keep a spray bottle handy and spritz them whenever you walk by. They will love it.
