I use lava rock and net pots because it is really the easiest for me. The exact answer about how often you water varies as it depends upon many conditions: humidity, amount of healthy roots, size of plant, size/type of pot, size/type of medium, amount of light (cloudy or sunny weather affect watering), temperatures, airflow, and whether the plant is growing/blooming. The skewer method someone suggested is a good plan for bark and moss because it will tell you if the middle has dried out. You can use anything wooden that is on hand. Good luck and enjoy those orchids!
