I asked because the mounted Encyclias and Epidendrum relatives I have are crispy dry within a few hours, whether I soak them in a bucket overnight or get them wet with a spray bottle. A few Enc. seedlings from RF Orchids are in mostly LECA and charcoal, and I may have to move them, because even with daily watering they look water-stressed. My growing room has 40%-70% humidity and the mounts seem OK, but I always worry. I'm doing more and more of the long soaking to deal with slightly shriveled leaves.
