As one of the more common varieties in indoor potted plants, orchids are loved by many people. However, many people often encounter the problem of improper watering frequency in the cultivation of orchids. This article will introduce you to watering indoor orchids, help you master the frequency of watering, and let orchids grow healthily.
1. Watering time In orchid breeding, watering time is very important. It is best to water in the morning and at night. The weather is cooler at this time and the orchids will absorb water better.
2. The amount of watering each time should also be properly controlled. Generally speaking, the amount of watering each time should be about one-third of the volume of the orchid pot.
3. Watering frequency The watering frequency of orchids is the key and it is also a place where many people can easily make mistakes. Under normal circumstances, the frequency of watering orchids is about once a week.
4. Watering method The watering method of orchids is also very important. It is best to water by dripping water, which can better ensure the amount of water absorbed by orchids.
5. Soil moisture Before watering, we need to check the moisture of orchid soil. If the soil is already moist, there is no need to water it.
6. Water Quality The water quality of watering also needs to be paid attention to. It is best to use tap water or mineral water for watering, and do not use water sources that contain too much impurities.
7. Fertilization During the growth process of orchids, appropriate fertilization is also needed. Under normal circumstances, fertilization with nutrient solution needs to be carried out once a month.
8. Root status The root status of orchids also needs attention. If the roots are found to be rotten, then it needs to be dealt with in time, cut off the rotten part, and re-watered.
9. Seasonal factors Seasonal factors will also affect the watering frequency of orchids. In hot summer weather, orchids need to be watered more frequently to ensure that their leaves will not be scorched due to excessive temperatures.
10. Light Conditions The light conditions of orchids will also affect the frequency of watering. If the orchids are in a brighter environment, then the frequency of watering needs to be increased appropriately.
11. Water Evaporation During the growth process of orchids, attention should also be paid to the evaporation of water. If the growth environment of orchids is relatively dry, then the frequency of watering needs to be increased appropriately.
12. Leaf Status Observing the leaf status of orchids can also help us control the frequency of watering. If the leaves are found to be dry, water them in time.
13. Temperature changes Temperature changes will also affect the watering frequency of orchids. When the temperature is low, we need to reduce the frequency of watering to avoid excessive moisture in the orchid roots.
14. Orchid Types Different types of orchids will also have different watering frequencies. Therefore, when cultivating different varieties of orchids, watering needs to be carried out according to different conditions.
15. Mastering the watering skills of orchids can help us better cultivate indoor orchids. By properly controlling the frequency, time, and amount of watering, as well as paying attention to factors such as soil moisture, water quality, and root status, orchids can grow healthily and bring us more beauty.
