How often should I water my Phalaenopsis?

When watering Phalaenopsis, you can follow the principle of "watering when dry and watering when wet". In addition, the frequency of watering is different in different seasons. In addition to watering with tap water and purified water, you can also water with some rice water, which can help maintain the weak acidity of the soil.

1. Watering in spring

In spring, all things come back to life, and Phalaenopsis is in its peak growth period, requiring a relatively large amount of water. Generally, it needs to be watered every 3-7 days.

2. Watering in summer

Because the temperature is very high in summer, the water evaporates quickly. At this time, water the Phalaenopsis once every 1-2 days, and avoid watering at high temperatures at noon.

3. Watering in autumn

The frequency of watering in autumn is similar to that in spring. The plants' water requirements are also relatively large at this time. It is sufficient to water the plants once every 3-7 days.

4. Watering in winter

Phalaenopsis requires the least water in winter, and generally needs to be watered once a week. In addition, be careful not to let water remain on the leaves of the plant.

Phalaenopsis watering precautions

During the flowering period of Phalaenopsis, the amount of watering the plant must be reduced, because the evaporation of water in the plant slows down at this time. It is best to replenish water by spraying. Be careful not to let the water touch the petals of the plant, otherwise it will cause the flowers to wither early.
