Seedlings in pots with bark and sphagnum-moss

At the beginning of March in Munich there's a beautiful international exhibition of orchids from around the world, I could not resist the temptation to buy an orchi-pack! That is a small group of 4 or 5 seedlings growing in nutrient gelatin, sealed in a glass of clear plastic..

I took those hybrids of Phalaenopsis Kuntrarti Rarashati x Phalaenopsis lindenii because I liked the pictures of the parents and the seedlings in the glass were larger than the others and seemed to be vigorous. Even if it takes years to see the flowers ... I can not wait!

The seller told me to leave them locked in the glass for 2 weeks but looking good in there was like a milkshake, I finally opened the glass on the fourth day because I saw something yellow.

I think I did well, the plants were twisted and had no direction, the jelly was everywhere! The yellow thing that worried me was a leaf, luckily no damage.
First, when you remove the plants from the gelatin should wash well under warm running water and remove ALL debris, done! Then they need to drain upside down to prevent water stagnation in the axils of leaf, done! When dry should be repotted in moist, not wet, substrate (and understand this difference is fundamental, but not so easy), done! I potted with thin bark and a little sphagnum moss in transparent pots of 8 cm. And then?

I read almost everything about how to treat the deflasked plants , obviously considering only "authoritative" sources as specialized nurseries etc., someone say to put them in moist sphagnum moss and seal tightly, others say invasarle and sprinkle 2 times a day, someone says repot and forget them ...
I tried not to give them water but they become visibly dehydrated then the third day after repotting I started to give a light spray of water on the leaves and in the pot early in the morning, an hour after the leaves were completely dry and the vessels had only a little humidity. I also added an artificial light (8 watt energy-saving, 6500 K) for 12 hours a day as the time of the year was not yet optimal, they like it, have stoped to become dehydrated and have resumed growth after about a month after repotting . Today they are like that:

As you can see from the photos the new leaves, grown at home, have a shape and texture other than the precedings, I would say that we are on the right track!
Unfortunately the fourth plant was killed by a series of events ...
