How to Water Your Orchid Properly : A Guide to Enhancing Blooms

1. Season: Orchid activity varies with the seasons. During winter, when plants are less active, they require less water. From November to February, watering every two weeks is sufficient. However, in spring and during the flowering period, more frequent watering, approximately once a week, is needed.
2. Ambient Temperature: Indoor orchids are affected by the room’s temperature. Houses can have dry air, especially with heating systems, making orchids thirstier. Regularly check for signs and adjust your watering accordingly, likely around once a week.
3. Room Humidity: Phalaenopsis orchids thrive in humid tropical forests. If your indoor environment is dry, you’ll need to take extra precautions. Consider misting the leaves every few days or using a humidifier to maintain adequate humidity levels.
