When planting a Vanda in Sphagnum Moss only, do you let it dry all of the way out bef

[kimg]

Hello all,

I have had my vandas for years just hanging bare root from wire hangers and dutifully watering then daily.

I decided to plant them in pots with a mixture of 90% sphagnum moss and 10 % perlite. I have them in well ventilated plastic pots.

My question is, should I let them go dry to the bone before watering again?

Or should I wait until it's almost dry before watering?

I let my other orchids go bone dry or very close to it over the course of 7 or 8 days between watering and so far so good. I had to just get used to watching that moss get crunchy or very close to it.

But I have never put vandas in moss before and so far it is the favorite medium (once you finally get the hang of it, lol).

And thank you all so very much in advance
