I need help with my equestris, having killed 2 before.

I mount my equestris on fern bark with sphagnum moss, its roots are growing well, however it's dropping its leaves are flies! Doesn't help that it didn't have much leaves to begin with, only 3 left at the moment. I water it consistently, but there seems to be a decrease in humidity due to weather. I kept it in shade, but now I brought it to a slightly brighter area. Could this be due to the lack of light?

Thank god there's a keiki forming, otherwise I'll be left to buy an equestris again in the future...

What did you mount it to?
You could be watering it too much ..

Here's another cry for help. My equestris is very small but is blooming for a second time. However it has lost every one of its leaves. It's in fine bark mix in a 2 1/2" pot and the roots that show above the medium look healthy. I grow intermediate and it is in fairly low light at this time of year. Any suggestions for why the leaves are gone?

Watering too much?! I thought I have to make sure they don't dry out...

Like I said, I mount it on a slab of fern bark with some sphagnum moss on it.
