Dipsy: Phal's like a lot of water so I think if you just water regularly and don't let the potting medium dry out, they should do fine. We have a lot of humidity here where I live so I don't have to mist at all. Right now, the few orchids I grow are out on my deck by the swimming pool where it stays humid all year round. I usually move them outside and hang them in the shade of a tree for the summer and I water with the garden hose two to three times a week during the hot summer months. Orchids also like a lot of fresh air so it's very important to have good air movement, but no chilly drafts.

Here's some good cultural information I found about growing the lovely "Moth Orchids": http://www.ctu.edu.vn/~dvxe/Hoa Lan/Doc on web/growing Phala...
