Just the same as before...put it in a humidity tray, ( I assume the orchids ARE NOT IN A greenhouse ) and make sure that the orchid needs water before you water it. I'm assuming that it does have a nice, plump bulb below the leaves, right? Betty :-)

yes the bulbs are pumped and i donthave it under a humidity tray but i have a humifier and the humidity is always between 65%-75%
Grow it like an oncidium and keep that humidity up with lots of air movement.

I couldn't agree more. Betty
There is alot of air movement for sure and the humidity is pretty high lol, there is a couple times the humidity goes up to 90% sometimes even 100% but just for a few hours. I try to kee it at about 70% Plus i mist them in the morning. I hope this is enough =). Thanks guys
I have one of those and the bulbs are shrivelling up.. I water it pretty regularly, and just checked the planting material/roots and its' not too dry..I have it in my office temporarily with my phalaenopses (2) and a fern and also a redwood burl with tiny fernlings, so I didn't really have too much control as they don't like the things the Shooting Star does. Should I just try to move it to a brighter window? Somewhere else said it liked a lot of light and air movement, which I still don't know how to get the humidity up for. I guess I should just buy them a humidity tray.
