What are your growing temperatures and humidity? Catt. seedlings in sphagnum dry out here in 2-3 days.

I'm in the lower northeast US, on the cusp of the mid-Atlantic, and growing inside the house. Humidity never seems to be a problem for average hobby growing. Quite low in winter and satifyingly high, around 50%, in summer. By classic standards, I'd classify my temps as "warm", suitable for human comfort and for a large variety of generally adaptable orchids. Available natural light is spiked with high-energy LED spots that can be excessive for standard catt hybrids and mericlones if not watched.
The violacea was delivered on 7/25; watered on Friday, 7/26. I checked it today (8/2) because it was feeling quite light again. A little dampness in the bottom third so I expect to water it tomorrow Saturday, 8/3). 8 day gap seems within acceptable parameters. Do you agree?
Thanks.
