It is better to water orchids every few days.

How often should orchids be watered?

When watering orchids, you need to check the dryness and wetness of the soil. If the soil is completely dry, you need to water it thoroughly. In addition, during the vigorous growth period in spring and autumn, it should be watered every 2-3 days; after entering summer, water it 1-2 times a day, because the water in the soil evaporates quickly. If the air is dry, spray water appropriately; in winter, water it more carefully, and water it once every 5-7 days.

How to water orchids

1. Watering method: When watering orchids, you need to water them thoroughly, not halfway, and the water should not be poured into the center of the leaves, which will harm the growth of the plants. You can use a watering can and other tools to water them, or you can use the immersion pot method. If the air is dry, you can spray water around the plants to keep them moist. Rainwater or spring water is preferred, and saline and alkali water should not be used.

2. Watering time: When watering orchids in summer, be sure to avoid the hot noon. It is best to do it in the morning and evening. However, if the temperature is relatively low, it is necessary to do it in the noon when the temperature is slightly higher. Avoid doing it in the morning and evening to avoid frostbite. In addition, the water temperature for watering should not be too high or too low to avoid causing damage to the plant's root system.

Orchid watering precautions

1. Orchids like a humid environment and should be watered thoroughly each time. If you only wet the surface soil each time you water them, it will be difficult for the roots to absorb nutrients and water, causing poor growth.

2. The soil needs to be dry before watering. Do not water when the soil is still moist, as this will easily cause water accumulation and lead to root rot.

3. Pay attention to ventilation after watering, because sometimes if the maintenance environment is poorly ventilated, it will affect the evaporation and absorption of water.
