brassavola in coir?

[missann]

I am brand new to this genus, brassavola, and I got a plant mounted on a board in sphag. The plant is very small, like the size of a dollar bill. I want to pot it in coir in an appropriately small pot. It didn't seem to like the mount, as the center of the roots are all dead, with just the ones on the outside growing up the mount, and away from the sphag. In my experience, orchids seem to like sphag, and take to growing new roots into it very quickly after being repotted. I think it is too small to be potted in my schultz mix.

Also, I have read to keep this plant "evenly moist." Does that mean it needs to be moist like a phal, or approach dryness? I don't trust lots of info that I read online because sometimes whoever wrote it accidentally writes the wrong thing or is just plain wrong. I would like at least two people to tell me how to water this thing.


Oh, I don't pot in straight coir. I use a mix of coir, pearlite, and charcoal.
