Hi, Mark,

We are on the east coast, in St. Lucie County.

Aside from the B. nodosa, you can probably get by with the watering schedule
you have. The best way to guage is to observe your plants, as you know. If
they need less or more water, they will let you know. I have a fair sized B.
nodosa in a basket with no medium; it hangs with the Vandas, where it gets
watered automatically every morning.

You'll want to watch your humidity and air circulation, too.

Best,

Diana
