How often should I water the tiger tail orchid?

In spring and autumn, Sansevieria can be watered every 7 days or so. In summer, increase the frequency of watering to once every 3-4 days. In winter when the temperature is lower, no watering is required. It is best to water in the morning or evening, and try not to water when it is too hot at noon.

The correct way to water Tiger Tail Orchid

1. Water according to the weather

When the temperature is high, the water of Sansevieria trifasciata should be watered as soon as it becomes dry because the water evaporates quickly. Usually, watering twice a week is sufficient. When the temperature is too low, water less frequently and do not water on rainy days. The flower pots should also be moved away from rain to avoid excessive waterlogging.

2. Water according to growth conditions

Tiger tail orchid can be watered more when it is in bloom, and less during the dormant period. Usually in spring, summer and autumn, you can water it when the soil is slightly dry. In winter, when the potting soil is completely dry, you need to water it thoroughly.

Too much watering of tiger tail orchid

If you water the Tiger Tail Orchid too much, the roots will be unable to breathe and absorb nutrients from the roots, resulting in symptoms such as root rot and yellowing and softening of leaves.

To solve this problem, you need to drain the water as soon as possible and move it to a well-ventilated place, loosen the surface soil and let the water evaporate as quickly as possible. If the situation is serious, you need to remove the plant from the pot and trim off the rotten roots, and sterilize and disinfect it, and wait for the wound to dry before replanting it.
