Discussing the Difficulty of Watering Orchids
Today, the editor will introduce the topic of orchids, a member of the Orchidaceae family, and discuss the difficulty of watering orchids. Next, the editor will provide some information.
Is root rot in orchids solely due to watering? Not entirely. The primary issue is the planting material. If we understand that orchid roots are fleshy and require ventilation, solving the ventilation issue of the planting material makes watering no longer a problem.
Is leaf tip burn in orchids solely due to watering? Not entirely. If we understand orchids well, we know that in the wild, orchid roots are in the mud, covered by a thick layer of dead branches and leaves, creating a relatively stable temperature environment for the roots, which do not experience sudden temperature changes. However, orchids in pots are highly susceptible to sudden temperature changes due to variations in air temperature and sunlight. This is the main reason for leaf tip burn. Knowing this, we can avoid sudden temperature changes in the pot and water the orchids when the temperature is relatively stable.
Is the rotting of new orchid sprouts solely due to watering? Not entirely. The main issue is ventilation. In the natural environment, orchids rarely rot new sprouts because there is always good ventilation in the mountains. Where I grow orchids, the ventilation is excellent. I water them with a spray bottle, thoroughly soaking the orchids, and there are very few cases of rotting new sprouts.
If you understand the nature of orchids and know that the local rainfall is not polluted, you will let the orchids absorb as much rain and dew as possible. With more communication with nature, orchids will also be more vibrant.
The above content briefly discusses the difficulty of watering orchids, for the reference of green plant enthusiasts, hoping it can solve your problems in green plant and flower management.
