I agree, this is a great thread! I've killed a few orchids myself in the beginning, they just don't take well to much fussing. And even less water. Mine have done well with water running through the growing medium (usually orchid bark mix) and not letting water sit at the base of the plant. I have put small bowls with rocks and a little water under them in the winter for humidity, but am careful that the roots are not wet. I have not had much luck with moss in the mixture as it tends to stay moist and rots the roots down in the pot.
In nature, these plants hook themselves to the crotch of a tree, or some other place with some litter in it by their aerial roots. Rain and nutrients filter through giving the plant what it needs. I try to simulate this at home. I am going to try and fix one to some wood with a small basket that has orchid growing medium and see how it goes. They are more time consuming to water since I always take the plants to the water so they can drain and then put them back in the light. That's unlike most other plants where you can just water them where they sit.
If you have an orchid you have purchased, they are usually in a small plastic growers pot stuck down in an undrainable glass jar. I always remove them from the jar, water them, let them drip for a few minutes and then put them back in the jar. It's a good idea to repot them as soon as you can, but I'd wait until they are finished blooming. But like CoolShades said, maybe it's okay, just be careful not to break the spike!
