Do I need high humidity? I've heard some say that the substrate should be very wet, almost like mud.
The big lines are.
Require pretty high humidity 70%-90%, a well draining substrate mixture of sphagnum moss, perlite, and orchid bark. Kept moist but not soggy. Good air circulation, regular fertilization. Full spectrum moderate to high light intensity from 12 to 16 hours a day.

I had mine in garden pots with potting mix sitting outside on a concrete slab in full sun.
It depends on how they are grown before you get them. If they were in a humid dome then have a higher humidity. But you should be able to wean them out of that so they can sit outside in full sun.
