Good video, I have been watering in the evenings lately and the first week the orchids looked sad but they're enjoying it now. I'm glad to hear what you said about letting media dry before watering - I've been caring for branch-mounted orchids with no sphag for years and I've been watering daily but a couple of phals desiccated to the point of stopping growth so I started mounting with sphag this year for my mom's Mother's Day orchid haul and added sphag to the two shriveled phals and have been waiting for the sphag to dry before watering, but it looks like the roots are unhappy from being too dry. I'm going to try watering before the sphag starts getting crispy now and see what happens. I bet it'll do the trick!

This was really meant for a separate post re: PuiPui

And think of orchids in which a specimen is the size of your hand... the same space can have 5 orchids... or 50... hmmm if you look closely enough a 1" flower is as grand as the largest Cattleyas.
