That's the great thing about rocks ... pretty impossible to overwater, since there's no water retention, just surface area that gets wet and then dries. The roots are getting "humid air" which is what they want.
Here in DR almost 95% of the time when you buy a Dendrobium they come in rocks, phals in coconut husk or tightly moss (bad quality). Vandas in hanging basket. Cattleya in moss and so on.
