Do newly repotted orchids need watering? How to water them?

1. Do newly repotted orchids need watering?

Whether or not a newly repotted orchid needs to be watered depends on the situation. If the soil used for repotting is dry soil and the root system is not damaged when changing the soil, then rooting water is needed to help the roots of the plant combine with the soil. However, if wet soil is used when repotting, or the roots of the orchid are damaged when repotting, you can stop watering first. Wait a few days before watering again.

2. How to water the orchid that has just been repotted?

1. Watering to help the plant take root: If you use dry soil to repot the plant, you need to water it to help it take root after repotting. When watering, use clean water, pour it into the soil from the surface of the soil, and completely soak the flower soil. Stop watering after water drops drip out of the drainage holes at the bottom of the pot. After watering, place the plant in a warm and ventilated place for maintenance.

2. Watering afterwards: After watering for the first time, you need to wait until the soil becomes dry before watering for the second time. If the soil is moist, do not water it, as this may damage the roots. When watering, you must also water it thoroughly, not halfway, otherwise it will cause damage to its root system. Do not water frequently during the acclimatization period. After it resumes growth, you can increase the watering frequency appropriately.
