Default cultural requirements for Bulb. tortuosum

Just wondering if anybody can provide me with any special cultural requirements for Bulb. tortuosum. Was planning on mounting on cork (with shag) and hanging it in vivarium...70 - 80% humidity/T5 lights (2 small - 16 hrs daily).
Will one watering a day be enough? I have other mounted orchids in the viv and they dry out daily between water.
Should I place this plant closer to the lights or need a bit of shade?
I cannot find much on the web.

Thanks so much!

I think in your case, once a day is adequate. I wouldn't go past twice a day for you. Healthy growing roots and avoiding root rot as best as you can is the important factor to consider.
