What do you do with them watering wise? How about when you leave for a week or so on vacation?

Mine personally can go around 3 weeks without a drop of water without even starting to shrivel. I have mine on a mount without any moss, in regular home humitiy levels, and I never water more than once a week.

Ezil, I grow them all under bright light. Your hand would make a faint shadow if you held it up. They seem to like 50's and 60's night and upper 70's during the day, but they also go through the very hot 90's (Farenheit) that we have here in the summer with no problem.

If you went by a "showiness" to space ratio when choosing your orchids, these would have to be at the top of the list. Excellent choice and easy to bloom.

My 1 and only is in spike under a T5 light. Can't wait to see what it looks like as the vendor has a very different photo of it compared to OrchidWiz!

During the winter when temps are in the seventies (farenheit) , once per week usually suffices but during the hot summer weather I water heavily once per week and mist about every other day. These plants like a lot of water but they must dry quickly. They rot easily if kept too moist.
