Learning when an orchid needs water is very easy to learn. Let it dry out completely (a week is ok) and lift it. It's pretty light weight huh? Now water the beegeezus out of it and then let it drain for a couple minutes. Now lift it up. Pretty heavy huh? It only takes a couple of times doing this simple exercise to learn when to water. Your hand learns pretty quickly how light weight it is when it needs to be watered. Even in LECA or lava rock there is a marked difference.
