Yes, it is on my list of things to do. I just have to find one nearby.
And I love orchids. I have 6 or 7 store-bought plants, nothing special, but I've kept them alive and blooming for several years now. Must be pure luck because I don't know much about them. They really need to be repotted or something.

And I usually avoid getting water into spots where the water can sit for a long time and stagnate ----- such as in the crown of orchids, or in sheaths.
And if you water a pot from above ------ and the water goes through the pot to drain ----- avoid that draining water from hitting a plant right below it .... in the shelf below.
