Soaking/reviving bare root orchids?

Quick question on how long is to long to soak bare root orchids that have been dried out when received from shipping? I have read websites that recommend 3 to 4 minutes and then pot immediately and websites that recommend to soak for "a while" and not to be in a hurry about potting it and to put in a bag with sphagnum moss to hydrate until new growth shows. Does anyone have any good experience at reviving these dried out bare root orchids? TIA!
