Default Do ALL phrags like thier feet wet or just some?

OK, so've I've read in several places now about people keeping phrags with a tray of water under the pot and watering again when that dies out.

Is this something ALL phrags like or just some?

I have a Phrag Paul Eugene Conroy which is wallisii x longifolium. The nursary had it potted with rock wool at the bottom and bark on top.

I've been watering it when I can feel the rock wool at the bottom starting to feel dry (which works out every 2 to 3 weeks). I stick my finger in one of the holes in the bottom of the pot to feel it.

I knew the rock wool was there to help it keep moist at the bottom, but do you think I'm watering too little. (I am worried that a new growth has stalled, although another new growth has just started as well).

I'm rather unsure how to care for this one so any help would be great
