Brassia Rex Christine?

[corsea]

Hi everyone, new here and new to orchids!

I just posted in the pests/diseases board about my Brassia Rex Christine, however I have some other general questions about it...

I was told to water only once per week by placing it in a bowl of water and allowing it to drink from the bottom of the pot. Is this enough? I suspect that my plant has been dehydrated as a result of too much sun (I'm new to this and thought more was better!).

I have a large south facing window that receives extreme amounts of sun all day long and two West facing windows that are somewhat blocked by the building beside me... what would be a good sunning routine? I thought I could leave it in my south window all day to get it's "bright sunlight" requirement, but it seems to have backfired on me!

Also, my apartment is quite dry, as the heat's on now (from radiators) and it's getting to be winter. Is there something I should be doing to ensure my plant stays happy and healthy and green?

Thanks, if you got through all of that... I have no experience growing anything, and this was a gift from my well-meaning mother who knows that I'd love to have something beautiful and unique in my new apartment. Any suggestions would be welcomed!!
