Sheridan, I water (by soaking) my mounted Brassavola and Sophronitus, etc. daily. As long as the roots are dry by night, daily watering is not only OK, but highly recommended. It would also be good to use R.O./distilled water with MSU as your "water" since you're going to be doing this more often. You should see some remarkable growth and blooming. Just my 2 cents. Forget the misting - doesn't do anything constructive.

I don't do most Dendros or large, "floofy orchids". For me it's minis (like Angraecoides), Masdies, Paphs, and others that crept in somewhere along the line. See my orchid list for complete collection (usually not current.)
