day after the weekly waterings (they like to dry out a bit, and this gives them almost week to do it). Good air circulation (I have several fans, and it's a amall space).
Mine have been pretty hardy and dependable. I think the
main factors are good light, and let them dry out between waterings.
Really, all my different orchids get pretty much the same culture. Those that want less light, I put down low, etc., but I only water once a week (it's automatic, overhead spray), and have a once a week fertilizer dose during the summer for
everything. They have to adapt (and I'm surprised by how many
different kinds of orchids have adapted to these "standard" conditions.
Hope this helps.
