I am now the proud owner of:

1 Brassavola Nodosa
1 Dendrobium Kingianum
1 Dendrobium Spectabile
1 Stanhopea Tigrina
1 Kegeliella Atripilosa

They are all in 2-2 1/2" pots and my question is, should I repot any of them?

Some of them seem a little crowded and I obviously want to encourage growth right away, so would a little pot space help?

I gave them all a nice drink of fertilizer and superthrive and my next question is, how often should I water? They're potted in a very well draining mixture and judging by how small the pot is, i'm guessing every 3 days. But, I can always check with a bamboo skewer, water when dry and not before, correct?

That leads me to my next question, the Stanhopea enjoys having wet feet, should I repot with some sphag on the bottom to satiate it's urge to stay wet?

Sorry about the thousand questions, i'm absolutely enthralled by the little guys and want to ensure their survival.

They arrived in fantastic condition and i must say are just about the cutest darn things i've ever seen. The little pbulbs on the dends are just pinchable!

Again, I apologize for the gushing, most certainly in love with all of them!
