How to water orchids correctly? A full breakdown of the methods

I. Watering methods

When watering orchids, you must soak the soil thoroughly, but do not pour water into the leaf center, because if the moisture cannot evaporate, it will harm the plant's growth. You can use a spray bottle and other tools to water it, or you can use the immersion method, which means placing the flower pot in a tray and taking it out after about half an hour. In addition, you should use a spray bottle more often to mist the plant, which can do a good job of increasing air humidity.

II. Watering time

Besides the watering method being important, choosing the time is also extremely important. When watering in spring, summer and autumn, try to do it before 9 a.m.; after evening comes, do not water, as the moisture does not evaporate well and will cause rot. Especially in summer, the high midday temperature is not good for the plant's absorption. In winter, you should choose a warmer time to do it; the temperature in the morning and evening becomes very low, and if the watering water temperature is too low, frost damage is likely to occur.

III. Points to note

1. Do not water just a little each time; you must soak the soil thoroughly. If each watering only wets the surface soil, the roots will still fail to absorb water, and poor growth can easily result.

2. Before watering, be sure to wait until the soil is dry; do not water when the soil is still moist.
