Is she getting enough humidity? And do you know to only water when the roots are silver never when they are green? And I'm assuming she's not in a dark spot.. when I first got mine everyone pointed me to miss orchid girl on YouTube before I even attempted to REPOT her.. like super tricky compared to other plants

The orchid is over my bathtub and I put water in it for humidity every couple of days. I have a grow light in the ceiling socket on a timer. Yes I wait until roots are silver then water. I’ve watched orchid girl videos before. I just don’t see what I’m doing wrong. Both plants have yellowing stalk.
