Default Does Root Type Indicate Water Needs
As I have been working with my orchids and learning more about them, it seems to me that the root type seems to correlate to the water needs. Thought I would ask some of you who are much more experienced if I am correct.

It seems like some such as the Maxilleria, Paphiopedilums, and Bublophyllium all have rather wiry roots with little velum on them. They seem to need watering often.

Others such as phalaenopsis with much thicker and fleshy roots with thick velum need less water.

Is this a correct general rule?
