Watering your orchid isn't such a difficult matter . It may vary,
the frequency depend on the climate you live in, or what season is at the time
or maybe just on what your orchid prefer. Definitely orchids prefer to be
to dry then to wet. Excess standing water will rot the roots and will
accumulate bacteria, fungi or viruses. The best time to water your plants is
early in a day so orchids can absorb remaining water. I worked out the routine
for my plants. I water them every 10- 14 days but I haven't got a set time. I
do this exactly the same way the whole year. But I want to point it out that my
orchids like that way, they growing happily and flower constantly most of the
year or even longer.
When I water my orchids I never pour water
into the pot, I always take my plants under the tap and let the water go
through roots. But by doing that I always make sure water isn't to cold.
Otherwise orchid can get into shock which slows down its growth. I recognize
when my orchids need water by checking the roots. When roots becoming
silvery I know my plants need water. Also you always have to check if there is
no water left in a crow. If it is you have to remove it by using paper towel,
otherwise crown may rot.
