You should NEVER grow any orchid with a companion plant of ANY type including another orchid. Their watering requirements are just way too different!
Phalaenopsis grow equally well in clay or plastic, the watering frequency is adjusted for the pot type.
Direct sunlight = any sunlight that directly shines on the leaves of the plant.

You can't grow another phal orchid with another phal? Is it because the roots can suffocate each other? If I don't have to worry about the philodendron hurting or killing the orchid, I don't really care about keeping them together. I'll water and fertilize to the orchid's needs, and just pop the philodendron out if it gets stressed.
