Don't be stingy with water when growing orchids. Water more, ventilate after watering, fertilize less, and flush with water after fertilizing.

Autumn has come around again recently, and the north has already entered winter. Orchid growers are all discussing the issue of watering. Some growers compare orchids with cactus - one originates from the rainy, humid regions of the south, the other from the desert. How is it that now they are grown the same way? Some even water their cactus more than their orchids. Puzzling.

True knowledge comes from practice in growing orchids. Some growers also offer tips: find a pot of ordinary orchids - with Song Mei you might be too scared - grow them in leaf mold soil in a plastic pot, place them under running tap water for a month, don't turn off the water, then repot and check whether the roots have rotted.

If you don't water into the leaf core, does that mean your orchids won't rot their shoots? Is that so? Still, use that pot of ordinary orchids - place them under running tap water directed at the leaf core for a month. If the shoots rot, the growers will compensate you.

Watering means watering with a large amount of water, repeatedly flushing the orchid pot. I won't explain why - I've said it many times before. Ask fellow growers more and you'll understand. With the media used nowadays, just water with confidence. Water more, ventilate after watering! Fertilize less, flush with water after fertilizing. Remember this!
