How often should I water the ball orchid?

In summer, you can water it once a day and spray it 2-3 times to ensure that the growth environment of the ball orchid has sufficient humidity. In winter, the temperature is lower, so you should reduce the amount of watering appropriately and ensure that the potting soil is properly dry to avoid frost damage. It is generally best to use river water, rain water, or rice water for watering.

How to water the ball orchid

1. Observe the branches and leaves : If the branches and leaves of the Hoya are wilting and falling down, it may be due to lack of water.

2. Watering according to the season : High temperature will cause the growth of ball orchids to slow down, but because the water evaporates quickly, the number of watering times in summer is more than at other times. How to water the ball orchid at this time? Usually water it once every 2-3 days. If the temperature is particularly high, you may need to water it every day, otherwise the soil will dry out quickly and cause the leaves to burn.

Precautions for watering Hoya

1. No waterlogging : Ball orchids are very afraid of waterlogging, especially they cannot grow in an environment with stagnant water, otherwise the roots will soon rot, and too much moisture will make them easily infected by diseases and pests.

2. Water quality : tap water is generally used, but it is best to filter it before use. Let it stand for 1-2 days. Never use waste water for irrigation.

What to do if you overwater the ball orchid

If you water the Hoya orchid too much, you must stop watering. Once you water too much, you must drain the accumulated water and put it in a ventilated place to allow the water to evaporate quickly. If pests appear, be sure to spray pesticides in time according to the pest control techniques of the Hoya orchid.
