What kind of water is good for orchids?

1. What kind of water is good?

When watering orchids, you can choose river water, rain water, pond water or fish pond water. These types of water are high in nutrients and are also helpful for plant growth. If you don't have these types of water at home, you can also use tap water, but you can't just draw it from the pipe and use it for watering. You need to draw it and leave it for two or three days first. Because there is chlorine in ordinary tap water, if you water it directly at this time, it will affect its growth.

2. Watering time

In fact, when caring for orchids, there is no completely fixed time to water them. Watering should only be done after the moisture in the soil evaporates. No watering is needed if the soil is moist. There are no special requirements for watering in spring and autumn. In the hot summer, watering should be avoided during the hot noon period, and in the severe winter, watering should be avoided during the cold mornings and evenings.

3. Watering precautions

1. Water thoroughly: When replenishing water, you need to water the soil thoroughly, that is, you need to water along the edge of the flowerpot and stop when water flows out of the flowerpot.

2. Water temperature: The water temperature when watering is also very important, and water close to the air temperature should be used. Whether the water is too hot or too cold, it will irritate the roots of the orchid, which will affect its root growth.
