The correct watering method after repotting an orchid

Orchids are generally repotted in spring and autumn. When repotting and filling in the soil, leave a height of 2 cm to make watering easier. When watering, you can choose a watering can with a fine spout and a long neck and water until water flows out from the bottom of the pot. In addition, note that you should water 2-3 days after repotting, which can prevent bacterial invasion.

1. Repotting and transplanting

Orchids are generally repotted in spring and autumn. In spring, it is usually from late February to late April, and in autumn, it is from September to November.

When repotting, first place the plant into the pot, then slowly fill in the soil. Do not fill it too full; 2 cm from the edge of the pot is enough. In this way, when watering, the water will not easily overflow.

2. Watering method

After repotting an orchid, note that you should water it on the second or third day. This can prevent bacterial invasion that leads to rot and death.

When watering, you can choose a watering can with a fine spout and a long neck and water until water flows out from the bottom of the pot, then stop. This ensures the soil is watered evenly, which is very good for root growth. Note that you should not use tap water directly. Tap water needs to be stored for a few days before use; substances such as bleaching powder contained in the water need to be removed.
