Place the orchid pot in a bowl of water for about 10-15 minutes. This allows roots to absorb moisture evenly. After soaking, let the pot drain completely—never let orchids sit in standing water.
Water Only When Dry
Check the potting medium before watering. If it’s still moist, wait a few more days. Orchids like to dry out a bit between waterings.
Mist Leaves Lightly
To boost humidity, lightly mist the leaves and flowers with water every few days.
Feed Occasionally
Add a diluted orchid fertilizer to the watering routine once a month for extra color and health.
Additional Tips
Avoid water on the crown (center) of the plant to prevent rot.
Use orchid-specific potting mix for best drainage.
Keep orchids in indirect sunlight to avoid leaf burn.
Final Thoughts
Mastering the watering technique is the secret to keeping your orchids leafy, colorful, and full of life. Treat them like the delicate beauties they are, and watch them flourish with vibrant blooms.
