Provided If the atmosphere is not too dry (as in an air-conditioned home) they can survive with water misting once or twice a week but not to heavy and the occasional bath for a soak. They are much like an ochid.

If you are growing them indoors and the air is dry, you will need (at minimum) to submerge the plant in water for 2-3 hours about every two weeks. Otherwise, in a shade-house or unheated home, you can use a soaking mist once or twice a week in summer, once a month in cooler weather.
Fertilize by adding a pinch of Orchid fertilizer to your mister. Don't let them touch soil they can get sick and die!
You may soak your plant for 20-30 minutes if it becomes very dry.
They can be separated into smaller plants.
