[coirchoir]

as a novice, I wish I had orchidaholic's advice the first time - I left mine in soggy sphag moss, but watched out for what was happening, and graduated them in a week to a bed of sphag on coir in a tray then a rack. The important thing orch'ic said was to squeeze the excess water off the sphag moss, just leaving it moist but with roots getting enough room to breathe - soggy moss will get them root bound and mushy. I was told you do not even need to fertilize much in the first couple of weeks or so, you might even see browning if there's too much fert.; treating the moss with some very diluted fungicide might be a good preventative medicine, or you wait and watch as act when needed.
some quotes for orch growing that stuck in my head:
"weakly weekly" (that's for fert)
"if it's too dry it's too dry" or something ambiguous to that effect
