Ben,

Also avoid water in the crown of the plant, especially in the evening and
after dark. The new leaves grow from there and if it rots you'll be in the
same fix as you are now.

Thanks for the opinions. I've got another orchid nearby, so I'll be a bit
more sparing with the watering in future.

Keep in mind that watering preferences vary quite a bit by genus
and potting medium.

I have several ontolezia and rodrumnia that are very happy with me
turning on an ultrasonic humidifier upwind of them before I go to bed
to a few nobile type dendrobiums that are currently watered whenever it
rains.
