Mateo you are still a new orchid grower from what I can see and although there is plenty of great information to be found on this forum you will not become a more experienced grower believing absolutely everything you read here or believing that is what all growers do.
The best information usually comes from talking to other growers that do not use online Forums. Even if you join facebook groups, watch hours of youtube tutorials you might think, ok now I know as much as everyone else but you'd be wrong...
Anyway I don't mean to berate any grower, just to point out there is far more to discover still about growing orchids and you need to be prepared to open your eyes more than just trusting social media for your information if you want to become a better grower
You might wonder why social media isn't as all knowing as Google when it comes to growing orchids and unfortunately that is a question I cannot answer but watch missorchidgirl's mythbusting series just to get an idea of how many social media facts about growing orchids might be myths instead.
Everyone has different approaches. There is no right way to grow them.
So the main reason I have written all this is because
a) they don't like to be potted: all of my vanda's are potted
b)they don't like wet media for long: I would not make this distinction for vanda's myself
c) they don't like to be soaked in a bucket once a week as their only watering... I have seen many youtubers do just this for years and get excellent results. Best example would be bumblebee orchids
