How often should orchids be watered in spring and what kind of water should be used

1. How often should orchids be watered in spring?

Spring is the main growing season for orchids. At this time, the orchid plants grow faster and require more water. Generally, water should be applied every 5-7 days. But if you see that the planting material has not dried up when you want to water it, you need to stop watering. Wait until the planting material is dry before watering it again. This will prevent water from accumulating in the planting material and causing root rot.

2. What water to use for watering orchids

If conditions permit, you can use rainwater when watering orchids. Just pick some up when it rains and water it when you need to. This is very beneficial to its growth. If it is not convenient to collect rainwater, you can also use purified water, mineral water or tap water that has been left to dry. But be careful to water it with clean water, not dirty water, otherwise it may get sick.

3. How to care for orchids after watering

Do not expose it to strong light right after watering. It is best to place it in a well-ventilated place. This will allow excess water in the pot to evaporate, preventing it from accumulating in the planting material and damaging the plant. After watering, place it in a warm place. Don't place it in a place that is too cold to avoid it being frozen.
