- Immersion Watering:
- Fill a container with room temperature water.
- Immerse the orchid pot in the water for about 20 minutes, avoiding wetting the leaves.
- Drain the excess water completely before putting the orchid back in its place.
- Watering with the Ice Cube Method:
- Place a few ice cubes on the surface of the orchid substrate.
- Wait for the ice cubes to melt completely, thus allowing a gradual penetration of the water.
These methods help avoid the risk of root rot and ensure proper hydration for the orchids. By following these precautions, you can keep your plants healthy and flowering for a long time.
