That's good - how big is the pot? If the media is old, which it likely is if you haven't repotted, I wouldn't think it would need such frequent watering - tho if it's a very small pot, and indoors with forced warm air heat going frequently, it might be possible Tho my potted den-phals do fine being kept on the moister side, at least during warm weather.

very true! I just remembered the OP's recent post about getting her first orchid, a Den-Phal

My golden rule is that more plants are killed by kindness than neglect. People overwater and overfertilize, stressing the orchid and making it prone to fungal infection. A regime of benign neglect works wonders for my orchids!
