Overwatering orchidsReasons for overwatering: In addition to watering too frequently, the reason for overwatering orchids is that the planting material is not loose and breathable enough, which can also cause water accumulation in the orchid pot and lead to overwatering. Harms of excessive watering: If orchids are watered too much, their leaves will wilt, become soft, and turn yellow, and in severe cases, the entire plant may die. Solution: If you water the orchid too much, you can drain the accumulated water first, then place the pot in a well-ventilated environment and wait for the water to evaporate completely. You can also turn over the soil on the inner surface of the pot, but be sure not to damage its roots. Orchids are drenched by rainOrchids are most afraid of being drenched in rain in the summer, which will have a certain impact on the root growth of the orchid. If the rain can penetrate the orchid pot, the planting material will cool down with the rain and it will be fine. Tips for watering orchidsHow much water to water at a time: Each time you water the orchid, you must water it thoroughly so that the roots of the plant can absorb water evenly. If you do not water it correctly for a long time, the roots at the bottom will not absorb water for a long time and it will grow poorly. The plant will also easily dry up. Watering frequency: When watering orchids, it is best to keep the soil in the pot dry. Watering should be less frequent during the flowering period, and the amount of water should not be too much. In summer, a thin layer of water is needed in the morning and evening, and the watering frequency can be appropriately increased in autumn. What kind of water is best for orchids to grow: Orchids can be watered with rainwater, river water, pond water, etc. These types of water are rich in minerals, which are beneficial to their growth and can promote more vigorous growth. Tap water can also be used, but the tap water must be placed in a ventilated and well-lit place to dry for two days before use. |
