How to water orchids properly
A collection of life's little knowledge, regarding the proper watering of orchids and the preparation of soil for planting orchids, the following is a detailed introduction.
Many people say that orchids are particularly difficult to cultivate, often prone to dying or yellowing of leaves. In fact, this is because they have not learned the secrets of growing orchids. For instance, learning how to water properly during the cultivation process is very important. It is best to choose slightly acidic water and not to water directly with tap water. Also, adjust the watering frequency according to the different seasons of the year; do not use the same frequency all year round. Let's talk about it in detail.
1. What kind of water to use
The reason why orchids are difficult to cultivate is that they have high requirements for water quality. If using tap water from home to water orchids, it is best to pour it into a basin and let it sit in the sun outside before watering, which can reduce the harm of chemicals in the water to the orchids. If possible, you can directly use purified water to water orchids. It is not recommended to use rainwater because of the current environmental pollution; much of the rainwater is not as clean as imagined and can affect the growth of orchids.
2. Pay attention to the watering frequency
The watering frequency for orchids varies with the seasons. In spring, the climate is relatively mild, so keeping the potting soil moist is best, watering once a week; in summer, the temperature is high, and it is necessary to water once a day to prevent the soil from drying out, which can prevent orchids from growing properly, choosing to water in the morning or evening; in autumn, like spring, the climate is relatively mild, and the watering frequency is reduced, maintaining once every 3 to 4 days; in winter, the weather is cold, and it is not advisable to water too much, otherwise, it will affect the growth of orchids and should be done around 10 a.m., the water temperature should not be too low to avoid frostbite to the plants.
3. Watering method
When watering orchids, try to water thoroughly at one time, and you can also add a little碎 foam (broken foam) in the pot. The碎 foam can absorb water and increase water retention, but be careful not to put too much, and place the orchids in a ventilated area to avoid waterlogging.
