Experienced gardeners will confirm that watering is one of the main procedures in the process of caring for an orchid.
Watering errors can cause the flower to wilt.
The orchid may also die completely.
What are the 3 things to pay attention to?
Number of waterings
In hot weather, water is added every 72 hours. Therefore, in the summer period, watering always becomes more frequent. During moderate weather, it is enough to add water once every seven days.
In winter, the number of waterings is significantly less: the procedure is carried out a maximum of twice a month.
Visual assessment
Sometimes it is enough to simply assess the appearance of the roots. If you notice that they look dry and white, then it is worth watering in the near future.
If the root system is brown, then you are watering the orchid correctly.
Ice
There is an unusual method of watering orchids that is worth taking note of. Its advantages are noted by many experts. Three ice cubes are taken per orchid.
They are placed on the soil and left.
