Orchid watering in spring has its particularities: how to water them correctly

In spring, orchids are in a recovery phase and need more water, so the soil should be kept moist. The best watering methods are to water with a shower head or to water by the immersion method; this not only prevents water from accumulating in the pot, but also replenishes moisture for the plant. In addition, in spring you should also pay attention to shading and must not let it be rained on.

1. Watering methods

The orchid is naturally a plant that likes to grow in a humid environment, but this does not mean it should be given a lot of water; it means the humidity of its growing environment is relatively high. It has a certain water-storage capacity, so in normal cultivation and watering there is no need to worry that it will die of dryness.

In fact, there is no fixed time for watering orchids; generally, once the soil in the pot becomes dry, you can water. In spring, the amount of water should be appropriately increased, because orchids are in a recovery phase during this period, and the potting soil should be kept as moist as possible.

3. Precautions

1. When watering orchids, the most important things are: thoroughness, evenness and fineness. When watering, you need to water thoroughly. The best method is to use a shower head to water, so that the watering is relatively even and it also avoids hollowing out holes in the soil. Water can also be replenished by the immersion method, which allows the roots to get sufficient moisture.

2. There is a lot of rain in spring, so when growing them outdoors you should also pay attention to rain protection and must not let the plant be rained on, as this easily causes water to accumulate in the pot.
