Dumb Newbie Questions about Watering Mounts

[chopster01]

I am within days of ordering my first mounted plants--mostly stick mounts I believe: Angraecum didieri, Gastrochilus somai, Sediria (Aerides) japonica, and Haraella oderata (hope I got those spelled correctly). I understand these are "easy" as mounts go and may make a good step out from all the Phals and Paphs I have. The vendor has guidelines for watering frequency, as do many books and posters here. But I can't seem to find a an answer to the most basic question of all: HOW do you water a mounted plant? Do you submerge it in a bath three times a week? If so, to what depth (most of the above orchids are miniatures)? And for how long? Do you spray them until they and their mounts are saturate? Is it some sort of combination?

Any tips for a guy who needs a road map for just about anything?
