How often do butterfly orchids are watered

I. Principles of watering

Phalaenopsis is a kind of flower that likes wet, but is more afraid of waterlogging. When watering it, you need to ensure that the plant material is wet, but you can't let it accumulate water. Otherwise, the root system of the plant is easy to rot, which leads to its poor growth. So every time you water, you need to wait until the soil dries before watering.

Second, watering frequency

Because its plants dry at different rates in different seasons, the frequency of watering for it varies. If it is in spring, it can be watered every 5-7 days. In summer, it can be watered 1-2 times a day. If it is in autumn, it can be poured every 4-5 days. In winter, it can be watered every 7-10 days. In addition, the watering frequency should be adjusted slightly according to the water retention capacity of the plant material. If the water retention of the plant material is good, less watering can be done. On the contrary, more can be poured.

III. Water temperature and water quality

For watering it, it is advisable to choose clean water between 20-23 ° C, preferably pure water. Do not use water that is too cold or contains impurities. Because the extreme temperature of water is easy to stimulate its roots, hinder its growth. Water containing impurities may also cause damage to its roots.
