Coelogyne Cristata culture help

[Aki_James]

This is another new orchid type for me. I have been dying for one for years so at the orchid show I saw one and had to pick it up.

I picked one that did not have flowers because I wanted to learn its culture before I struggled with dormant periods and such...The grower said this one didn't look like it was going to flower this year and it looked super healthy so I grabbed
it.

Well since I have gotten it 2 spikes have started on the 2 newest bulbs I will assume these are growths not flower spikes but you can answer that for me.

The issue I'm having is that the bulbs (Not the newest ones) seem to be shrinking more everyday I have read that these love water when in active growth but being a newbie with the genus I am worried I will over water and kill the roots. But I have been watering pretty much every second day as the potting medium it came in is very airy ( It seems to be mostly rocks? medium bark and charcoal).

It grows in the basement with the Miltoniopsis', masdie, Phals and Zygonisia. so day temps are around 18-19C and nights reach 16 at lowest with humidity at 60%...I know this is not ideal for the Ceologyne but its the coldest spot in my house.

Should I be watering it more? like everyday? I just don't want to kill this one, any help would be appreciated.

Here's some pics.
