Orchids are one of the most popular houseplants, and the Phalaenopsis orchid is one of the most popular types of orchids. If you’re new to growing orchids, you might be wondering how to water your Phalaenopsis orchid. Here are a few tips to help you water your orchid correctly.<\/p>\n

First, check the pot your orchid is in – does it have drainage holes? If not, you’ll need to water your orchid more carefully. Second, run water over the potting mixuntil it is evenly moist, but not soggy. Allow the potting mix to drain before putting the orchid back in its spot. Water your orchid thoroughly once a week, and more often if it is in a pot without drainage holes.<\/p>\n

What is the best way to water an orchid? <\/h2>\n

The best place to water your plant is in the kitchen sink. Use lukewarm water (do not use salt softened or distilled water) and water your plant for about 15 seconds and be sure to thoroughly wet the media. Then allow the plant to drain for about 15 minutes. It may appear dry but it has had enough water.<\/p>\n

If you notice that the leaves of your orchid are shiny and firm, and the roots are also firm and green, then this means that your plant is receiving just the right amount of water. However, if you notice that the roots are dark and dry, this means that the plant is not getting enough water. On the other hand, if you notice that the roots are yellow, brown, or hollow\/flat, this means that the plant is getting too much water.<\/p>\n
