Watering properly is the single most critical factor for orchid survival. Myth: tropical = lots of water. Truth: overwatering kills fast.
Most of year: weekly. Summer/dry climate: every 4–5 days.
No standing water, no soggy medium. Water when dry. Consistent schedule works.
Morning/midday—allows evaporation before night. Evening watering traps moisture → fungal growth (major orchid problem).
Weekly schedule (adjust for summer/dry). Daytime watering = no accumulation. Research your species for tweaks. Medium: bark/moss (not soil + regular fertilizer).
Tap water fine. Temperature = room temp (hot/cold shocks kills). No additives unless orchid-specific.
Master watering → beautiful, thriving orchids.
