I also grow vanda's and they are all spiking right now and I am having to water three times a day.So all of my hoya's are getting watered too.The soil I have been using is my own mix CS with lots of perlite and lava rock.Now the EA are still in the soil I bought them in.My Archie has been getting flooded also and I have noticed so many new vines I am having to tie them down so they don't grow around the pcv pipe on my shade house.I live in zone 10 and humidity is always at 90 percent and higher.I have read a lot of places where too much water can mean root rot and all kinds of fungus and breeding ground for different bugs.I often ask myself if I am headed for trouble with sum of my hoya's because of what I am doing everyday.I often read if you are in a high humidity you water less.But with what I am doing I am producing nice healthy hoya's with large leaves and the growth rate is exceptional.In the winter I use grow lights and sum don't slow down like I thought,I run a heater with a fan and they seem not to be bothered with it.So is watering too much? I think by cutting back it would be dome city for my hoya's.I have even repotted a lot of my hoya and have noticed this has not affected them,they still are growing even more.Point is when someone says water when almost dry,I flood them three times a day,so as far as the drying out theres no place here for that.Could it be because they are on a schedule they have adapted? Would like anyones imput as to how they water in zone 9-10,
