How do you keep it so moist, if I may ask?

All my mounted plants get watered every day (automatic system...in winter, low flow misters every day, sprinkler soaking on alternate days, summer both every day) Of course when it rains the sprinklers aren't needed but that's a few days a year, I just turn them off in that event.
Of course it dries out after being watered, but that is the case with all mounted plants. Epiphytes evolved to do just that - get wet when it rains, dry out when it stops. (Even at 80 percent humidity, it is drier when it is not raining than when it is.) This little 'un evolved in a wet climate, so it does need daily watering. Mounted species with pseudobulbs can go longer between waterings, but nearly all come from climates where rain is very frequent. Rain at my house comes from a hose or sprinkler.
