My orchid finally bloomed after I stopped watering it on a strict schedule and just checked the moss instead.

Actually, strict schedules work better for most people. It removes the guesswork and prevents overwatering, which is the real killer. Sticking to a calendar is just more reliable.

Strict schedules kill more plants than neglect lol

Yeah, I've killed a few plants by being too strict with the calendar. It feels like the right thing to do, but you end up watering when the plant doesn't need it. My peace lily started thriving when I finally just learned to check if it looked droopy. That moss trick is a game changer for orchids, for sure.
