That makes sense. I watered the cymbidiums I have this morning and I'm probably going to wait before I water again. It's still getting as high as 90 degrees Fahrenheit here, but it gets cool enough in the evenings (sometimes below 70) that I want to make sure things are dried out before I water again.
