How to water potted Oncidium

1. How often should you water?

The principle of watering Oncidium is the intersection of dryness and moisture. When watering, be sure to water thoroughly. The next time you water, you have to wait until the soil is visibly dry. In spring, the frequency of watering can be once every two or three days, but in the hot summer, Oncidium grows the fastest and water evaporates quickly. At this time, the frequency and amount of watering must be increased. You can water it once a day in the morning, but you also need to spray water on its leaves in the afternoon. This can help cool the leaves and increase its breathing capacity. You should reduce watering in winter. Generally, it is enough to water the plant once every one to two weeks.
