Use the skewer method.
Stick a wooden or bamboo skewer in the center of the pot and leave it there. When you think it's time to water pull it out and check.
I tend to water my orchids when the skewer isnt visibly wet but still slightly damp and cool to the touch...
You might have to adjust at what point to water based on your individual orchid. But the skewer helps.
