How often do orchids are watered?

Generally speaking, orchids are watered once a week in spring and autumn, from two days to once a week in summer, and about once every two weeks in winter. However, due to the climate of different places, as well as different varieties, watering frequency should be different. Therefore, it is better to judge whether watering is better according to the degree of dryness and wetness of the soil. The judgment methods include insertion method, intubation method and observation surface method.

1. How often do you water?

Generally speaking, the number of times has the greatest relationship with the season. Spring is about the same as autumn, about once a week. There are more times in summer, from two days to once a week. If you have Rain Water, you can use Rain Water first, but Rain Water should not get drenched too much. There are fewer times in winter, about once every two weeks. However, this is only an approximate frequency range, and the specific situation will be more complicated. Different regions have different climates, coupled with different varieties, so it is unscientific to rely entirely on this. It is best to decide whether to water the soil according to the specific degree of dryness and wetness of the soil.

2. The method of judging soil dryness and wetness.

(1) the method of inserting lots: judge by toothpicks. First break the head of a toothpick so as not to hurt the plant. After treatment, insert it into the soil, about four to five centimeters. Wait five minutes and take it out for observation. If there is no moisture on it, the soil is dry. It can be watered at this time.

(2) intubation: the principle is similar to that of the previous method. Poke five or six small holes in the bottom of a plastic pipe and cut the lower part into a bevel. Then insert eight to ten centimeters into the soil. After five minutes, pull it out to see if there is moisture. If not, you can water it.

(3) soil surface: soil surface can also be observed. If you just turn white, you don't need to water it. Wait a day or two before watering.
