If they don't have any root yet, you should not water them, they will rot.
You can keep them in a moist environment (sphag in bag method for example). My best method is in a plastic bag (air tight ) with live sphagnum moss in it. When they have roots about 1 inch long, you can transplant them on the mount.

thanks for the info, all the bulbophyllums i obtain had roots with them but are broken/fractured roots when they are removed from the mother plant, so should i water them?
