How often should orchids be watered in summer?

Orchids are water-loving plants and prefer a humid environment during their growth period. Generally, orchids only need to be watered once every 7 days. The frequency of watering can be increased when the climate is dry. Orchids that have just been potted usually need about 10 days to adapt to the new environment, so you can water them after 10 days.

Tips for watering orchids in summer

1. Watering time

When watering orchids in the summer, choose to water them before 9 am, because the water evaporates more slowly at this time and can be retained in the soil.

2. Watering amount

When watering orchids in the summer, the amount of water each time should not be too little. The soil in the orchid pot must be watered thoroughly, and should not be half-dry and half-wet.

The correct way to water orchids

1. Orchids only need to be watered once a week in spring and autumn. The climate is very warm at this time and the water will not evaporate quickly.

2. When watering orchids in the summer, it is only necessary to water them once every 2-7 days. Because orchids have fleshy roots, too much water will affect their growth.

3. Generally, you can reduce the frequency of watering orchids in winter, usually watering once every 15 days is sufficient.
