The correct way to water Phalaenopsis

1. Judgment of water shortage

Before watering the Phalaenopsis, you must first determine whether the plant is lacking water. The easiest way is to weigh the flower pot. If it is light, you should water it in time. A method more suitable for beginners is to insert a toothpick or wooden stick into the soil, take it out after a few minutes, and if it becomes moist, you don’t need to water it yet.

2. Watering method

Generally, watering should be done after the soil is dry, and attention should be paid to alternating between dry and wet. When watering it, you need to pour the water to the roots of the plant. Do not splash water on its leaves, as this is likely to cause rot. When the air is dry, you can water it every day, or you can spray a small amount of water while watering. The temperature in autumn and winter is relatively low, so water less often, once every 3-5 days.

3. Watering time

Watering time varies greatly in different seasons. In summer, try to water in the morning, because it will be very hot at noon. If you water at this time, the water temperature will become high, which may burn the roots of the plant. In winter, it should be done at noon to avoid frostbite on the plants. Watering in spring and autumn does not require a fixed watering schedule.
