Constant humidity vs Constant Irrigation
Default Constant humidity vs Constant Irrigation

hello
I want to grow orchids with Very, Very large pseudobulbs (Catasetums, Anguloas, Catleyas Lycastes etc), and I have this question:

What is the best strategy for the full growth and exceptional development of the plant?

Forget factors such as light, ventilation and temperatures (25 Celsius as standard) and focus on radically changing the substrate and irrigation. Having 2 options:
A) A substrate that retains a lot of moisture and drains well, with a high ambient humidity
B) An inert substrate and constant watering, literally every time the roots dry out

In an ideal world, what would be appropriate? I read this article in First Rays: General-Recommendations-for-Feeding-and-Watering-Orchids
I then mention that the best option is B

I want to raise sublime orchids, which method is the most appropriate. Of course this assumption does not apply to Phrags and Paphios that need constant water, like the photo above.
