How often do orchids are watered? how to judge that orchids should be watered?

How often it is watered during maintenance has the greatest relationship with the seasonal climate. About once a week in spring and autumn, a moderate increase in summer, almost once every three or four days, and water control in winter, about once a month, but this is not absolutely fixed, but it should be determined according to the specific situation. Before watering, you can insert a toothpick or plastic pipe into the basin soil to test it, if there is no moisture to water it again. The weighing basin method can also be used, but this method can only be measured more accurately if it is experienced.

1. How often

Its growth has extremely strict requirements for moisture, and the basin soil should not be watered too frequently or too dry. The exact frequency of watering has the greatest relationship with the seasonal climate. Spring and autumn grow faster, can not lack of water, should be watered once a week. The temperature in summer is high, and the water evaporates quickly. It is necessary to increase the number of times appropriately, about once every three or four days, but there are more Rain Water in summer. If it rains, the number of times should be reduced appropriately. If you want to control the water in winter, if you don't dry, you don't have to water it, about once every half a month. It should be noted that these frequencies are not absolutely fixed and should be changed according to the actual situation.

Second, the method of judgment

1. Insert toothpick: insert a toothpick into the surface of the basin soil, insert it about four or five centimeters, and wait five minutes to take it out. If there is no moisture, it means it is dry and needs watering.

2. Insert a plastic pipe: prepare a slightly thicker plastic pipe, make a few small holes in the lower part, cut it into a bevel, and bury it in the soil, about eight to ten centimeters deep. Then insert the cotton swab into the other end and wait five minutes to check. If the cotton swab is not damp, it means it's time to water.

3. Weigh the basin: this method can only be used more successfully if you are experienced. Directly hold the flowerpot with both hands, if it feels much lighter than usual, it will prove that the soil is almost dry and is going to be watered.
