It is also worth noting that Mother Nature did not create the hybrids which
populate most of our collections -- so we don't really know exactly how they
would grow in the wild.

Respond to watering

Don't orchids get wet at night to, in nature. When you think of the
rainforest,
regular rain (day and night) and very high humidity. So why can't we make
our plants use to it too? All we need to quarantee is airmovement and that
the plant gets a chance to dry up every once in a while. I could be in the
deep end right now, but why not?
And combine it with a regular use of a funguside and other things I don't
think it should be a probleme. For the past 4 years I've been watering
irregularly and have still not had any problemes. OK I must admit, if I
water in the livingroom at night, the plants are dry about 3 hours later.
Maybe that's why I've never had any problemes.
