Got it. Clean plain water only.

All of the orchids are in the shade now since it's beginning to get in the high 80s - 90s here to prevent anyone getting cooked. Had a close call when it was about 95 degrees here and one Vanda has a leave that got a little burn from being partially in the hot afternoon sun.
I am watering more often for plants in bark, once in the morning and sometimes once in the evening if it's been really hot and the bark has dried out.
For plants in moss, I'm watering every other day, so long as the moss isn't mostly drying out within a day. If every other day, the moss still has some moisture in it but isn't dried out.
Hopefully this is useful information.

You have likely killed any beneficial microbes with the cooper and Thiomyl treatments, so I’d wait a couple of weeks and use only water, then resume the probiotics.

Got it. I'll give it only distilled or other 0 ppm water for a couple of weeks, see what happens.
