sounds like your orchids are in moss....the moss exposed to the air dries out quickly, while the interior moss stays wet for some time....I suggest removing the moss...for me, its too hard to judge the watering, and I find they do better in very large bark media....but that is for me, I don't know what your conditions are like....when you buy phals, frequently they are really packed hard in moss balls....this makes watering, air circulation, and root growth difficult....it works good for the big box stores because they don't get watered much in those circumstances.....but not so well at home....try changing media, and use the skewer method to judge when watering is needed....good luck, and welcome!
