How many times a day is the orchid watered? different seasons have different requirements.

How often is the orchid watered? Friends who have just planted and raised Cymbidium may ask such a question: Cymbidium likes Yin and wetness, but it is quite resistant to drought, and too much watering seems to be not conducive to the growth of Cymbidium. So, are there any rules and requirements for watering hanging orchids?

It is difficult to explain how many days it takes to water the orchid in one sentence.

1. Hanging orchids like a humid environment, and the basin soil is easy to keep wet. However, the fleshy roots of Cymbidium can store a lot of water, so they have a strong ability to resist drought and will not dry to death if they are not watered for several days.

2. Water the orchid once and for all.

3. the frequency of watering is different in different seasons: it is usually watered once every 2-3 days in summer-adequate watering in summer, and water should be sprayed on branches and leaves around noon and in the evening to prevent the leaves from drying up. Water once every 5-7 days in winter, pay attention to watering thoroughly, dry thoroughly and then water again.

4. Under 5 ℃ in winter, less watering, basin soil should not be too wet, otherwise the leaves will be easy to yellowing.

However, there is also a saying: do not ask how many days to water, the key point is: when the orchid is short of water, water.

6. If the hanging orchid is covered with more dust, it not only affects its growth, but also damages the freshness and freshness of the branches and leaves, so it is necessary to spray and wash the branches and leaves frequently to keep them bright and beautiful. Lower withered leaves, yellow leaves should be picked at any time, usually to maintain normal humidity, should not be dry, should not be too wet.

Therefore, the grower should understand the characteristics of the orchid when it is short of water, so that it can be watered when the plant needs it, rather than rigidly asking how many days to water it. According to reports, when the orchid is short of water, its leaves are folded together in half, just like the mimosa. When you see the orchid like this, you have to pour a ladle of water thoroughly, and soon the orchid will be full of vitality again.

In fact, as long as we plant the orchid for a period of time, we will naturally understand the characteristics of the orchid, and we do not have to struggle and stick to how many days to water the orchid once.
