Hydroponic methods and precautions for orchids, how much water needs to be added?

I. Hydroponic methods

1. Choosing a container: Before hydroponics, you should choose a hydroponic container suitable for orchids, as this is more conducive to their growth. Specifically, you can prepare a transparent container of moderate depth with sieve holes, disinfect it, and let it dry before use.

2. Removing the plant from its pot: Take the plant out of its original pot, then place it in water and wash off the soil. Then put it into a disinfectant and treat it for 10-15 minutes, after which take it out and let it dry.

3. Starting hydroponics: Pass the treated plant through the sieve holes, place it into the container, and fix it in place. Then add an appropriate amount of water so that about 20% of its roots are submerged in the water.

4. Later care: Move the treated plant to a place without direct sunlight and change the water in good time. After it has adapted to the new environment, you can gradually increase the water depth until half of its roots are submerged in the water.

II. Watering method

If the weather is relatively hot and evaporation is relatively high, you need to replenish water for it in good time, topping up the water that has evaporated. In addition to replenishing water, you should also change its water once every 5-7 days, so that its growing environment will be healthier and its growth will be better.
