Orchid grass is a relatively drought-tolerant plant, but improper watering can also affect its growth. So, how can we water orchid grass correctly? Next, let's learn about the correct way to water orchid grass together.
I. Water Thoroughly at Once
Watering thoroughly at once is the best way to water, as it allows the water to penetrate deep into the soil, making the roots of the orchid grass healthier.
II. Master the Watering Time
In summer, when it is hot and dry, the amount and frequency of watering should be appropriately increased, while in winter, they should be reduced. On sunny days, watering in the morning or evening is a better choice.
III. Avoid Waterlogging
Orchid grass does not like excessive water, and overwatering can easily lead to waterlogging, causing root rot. It is very important to keep the soil moderately moist and avoid waterlogging.
IV. Pay Attention to Water Temperature
Water that is too cold or too hot will affect the growth of orchid grass, so use room temperature water for watering.
V. Pay Attention to Leaf Surface Moisture
The leaves of orchid grass often need to be sprayed with water to keep them moist, which helps its growth.
VI. Reduce Watering Amount During Rainy Season
During the rainy season, the amount of watering can be appropriately reduced to avoid overwatering.
VII. Ensure Good Aeration
It is important to ensure that the soil is well-aerated and that the roots of the orchid grass do not lack oxygen, which is also one of the important ways to maintain health.
VIII. Do Not Water Too Frequently
The roots of orchid grass do not like a humid environment, so watering should not be too frequent. It can be adjusted appropriately according to its growth status and the season.
IX. Good Soil Drainage
Orchid grass likes to grow in well-draining soil. If the soil drainage is poor, it can be appropriately improved when caring for orchid grass.
X. Check Soil Status Before Watering
Before watering, you can gently insert your finger into the soil to determine if watering is needed, or whether the amount of water should be increased or decreased.
XI. Water Moderately
The amount of water each time should not be too much, generally controlled to about 1/2 to 2/3 of the volume of the orchid grass's pot soil.
XII. Reasonable Watering Interval
The watering interval is also very important and can be determined according to the indoor temperature and season.
XIII. The Relationship Between Light and Watering
Light and watering are closely related. Orchid grass needs more water when there is sufficient light, but if there is insufficient light, the amount of watering should be appropriately reduced.
XIV. What to Note for Each Watering
Each time you water, pay attention to keeping the stems and leaves of the orchid grass dry to prevent them from withering and rotting.
XV.
Orchid grass is a relatively drought-tolerant plant, but watering is also very important. The correct watering method can help orchid grass grow healthily. Let's provide it with a better growing environment together.
