Yes

However, with phalaenopsis you wait until the media is "almost" dry as the plant is not suppose to "completely dry out".

I would much prefer a dry media centrally while the peripheral was still wet; in fact, I've even seen styrofoam peanuts used at the core beneath the plant to ensure this in their potting media.

Phil worked very hard on a thread giving tons of information about the care and culture of phalaenopsis and it is well worth browsing
