How to judge that orchids should be watered

Reasonable water can promote the growth and development of orchids. In the process of watering, bamboo stick method, weighing method, comparison method and soil plucking method can be used to judge whether orchids are watered, and it is best to use Rain Water or river water in the process of watering. In late winter and early spring, spray water on the leaves.

1. The method of judging the watering of orchids 1. Bamboo stick method

In the process of orchid culture, if the water is reasonable, the plant will grow luxuriantly. Well, first of all, we can use the bamboo stick method to insert the bamboo stick into the edge of the basin, and then wait about 3 minutes to see how dry and wet the bamboo stick is. If it is wet, there is no need to water. Most of it is dry, which means watering.

2. Weighing method

You can also use the weighing method to judge whether orchids should be watered or not. in general, the weight of the basin soil will be heavier after watering. It will mainly weigh the basin soil before watering, and then compare it with the weight of the soil watering. If it is too heavy, it does not need watering. If it is too light, it means watering in time.

3. Comparison method

Using the comparison method is also the best way to judge whether orchids should be watered, mainly by preparing two identical flowerpots, then planting them together with the same soil and the same orchid varieties, and finally pouring out the two flowerpots to see the degree of water absorption between the two. If it is too dry, water should be watered.

4. Soil ploughing method

Using the ploughing method is the best way to judge the watering of orchids, mainly loosening the soil in the orchid pot, and then poking the 4~5cm depth to see if it is too dry. If it is too dry, it needs watering. If the pot soil is wet and muddy, there is no need to water.

Matters needing attention in watering orchids

When watering orchids, it is best to keep the basin soil dry, less watering times during flowering, and not too much water. It is best to water thinly in the morning and evening in summer, and to increase less watering times in autumn. High temperature and drought season is suitable for spraying water around the plant every day.

And when watering, it is best to water along the edge of the basin soil, remember not to water directly to the middle, water can be thoroughly watered once before entering winter, and the best moisture is Rain Water or the river, and the leaves should be properly sprayed with water mist at the end of winter and early spring to maintain a certain amount of humidity.
