Daily abundant watering and nebulization of the roots in Summer, in particular for the plants with bare roots, less frequent watering in Winter. Using rainwater, demineralized or by reverse osmosis, at ambient temperature is best for species orchids.
You can grow it in a 4" basket, bare root if you have high humidity and water them daily. Or you can plant it in a 6" baskets with moss or clay pot with extra large New Zealand bark. This will keep moisture around the roots so you don't have to water daily.
