YW Donna!
What phal species are you growing? Reason I ask is often times if their species like bellina and violacea they prefer warm temps and high humidity and to be keep slighty moist. I find growing them in clear storage bins (Sterlite brand) helps give them just what they need and you don't have to water as often, maybe every 2 weeks or so. Same would aply for seedlings. Just don't put them in wet, damp will do.
I'm along the shoreline in southern CT.
I missed going to the September IPA meeting, had too many things going on to make it. I hear it was really good and sorry I didn't get to hear Mike M. speak.
Drop me a PM if I can be of any further help.
