Apparently I should have waited longer to see how humid it was getting. The water wickers have been there for over a week but the hygrometer I just put there a few hours earlier. Checking it later that day it had gotten to a little over 60% now it's a whopping 70%. No wonder the orchids like it there. It' a very localized humidity but that's exactly what they need. Of course I'll need to change them out every week so they don't grow mold but that's a small price to pay to keep these babies happy. I do think I'll be adding a third though. Although 70% is on the high side of normal, it's on the low side of what orchids prefer. 85% would be a sweet percent to be able to get to and really get these guys comfortable.
The humidity is still creeping up. It says 71 now.
