While I'm fairly new to orchids, I can't say that any of my plants
care what time I water during the day- however, most of my plants are
very happy with whatever water they get, as I tend to underwater....
And I keep a box fan running all the time in the room with the plants,
and plenty of fresh air, so I don't have very much stagnant air.

Ya'll are telling your stories about killing plants... why is it that
my sal****er fish and coral, 2 dogs, a guinea pig, and too many
orchids live and thrive but I've killed at least a half dozen
Philadandrom's?!? Who makes the list of "hard vs. easy" anyway?

On the watering question- as to frequency- I'm trying to get
everything in the proper medium so that they all are dry the proper
amount by the time I get to watering again... like Phal's in mostly
moss because it drys slowly and the Dends in huge chunks of bark that
dry quickly, so they all could use a drink every Sunday afternoon.
Anyone had luck with such a concept? Yeah, I'm lazy. And what about
semihydro methods (Ray?) and the indivual times between watering?

Thanks again to all...
Kevin
