How to judge whether it is time to water the black orchid? The correct way to water it

Molan is also a type of orchid, and it is named because its leaves are as green as ink. It is not easy to grow Molan at home because the water it needs is different in different seasons.

Water in the morning in summer and autumn, use a sprayer in spring and winter, water once every 10 days in autumn and winter, and once a day in summer. When watering, do not water the center of the plant.

Watering time for molan

1. Observe the soil

You can insert a wooden stick into the soil, then pull it out to see if the stick is moist. If the stick is very dry, it proves that the moisture in the soil has evaporated, which also proves that there is a lack of water and it is time to water it.

2. Observe the leaves

You can also judge whether it is time to water by observing the condition of the leaves, but this judgment is not very accurate. If you find that the leaves of the Mo Lan are drooping and turning yellow, you should water it.

In spring, autumn and winter, it is generally enough to water it once every ten days. In summer, water evaporates faster, so it needs to be watered every day. Of course, this is just a reference time. The specific frequency depends on the condition of the potting soil, because different potting soils have different air permeability and water permeability. The temperature varies in different seasons, and the evaporation of water in the Mo Lan soil is also different. Therefore, the specific frequency of watering should be adjusted appropriately according to the temperature.

Watering method of Molan

When growing Mo Lan in summer and autumn, it is best to water it in the morning, and try to keep the surface of the leaves dry in the evening. In spring and winter, it is best to use a sprayer when watering, which can not only increase the humidity of the air, but also make Mo Lan grow better.
