About watering:
(1) the time of watering and spraying can be chosen at night or early in the morning, not in the time of high temperature sunshine. Don't water after rain, and don't spray water on Orchid leaves when the air humidity is high.
② This stage is the key period for orchids to take root and grow leaves. It must be dry and wet. The so-called dry and wet degree means that watering must be thorough. After thorough watering, try to ensure that the humidity of the plant material is lower than 30% wet (even 20% wet). Only in this way can the root system develop and promote the root system to grow downward.
(3) the roots and leaves of orchids are in a saturated state for a long time. If they are watered or sprayed again, the roots and leaves of orchids can not be absorbed. It is very easy to cause buds, soft rot, stalk rot and various diseases. Only when we have a good grasp of dry and wet conditions, can orchids grow healthily.
