Watering small orchids in small pots
Default Watering small orchids in small pots

Hello! I hope I started this thread in the right place. Newbie with a watering question.Would it make sense that young/small orchids in small pots need more frequent watering than larger orchids in larger pots? I read all over the internet that watering indoors typically happens every seven to ten days, but some of these little guys seem like they want water much more frequently. I'm trying to separate myself from one-size-fits-all advice, and the fear of overwatering, or overwatering in winter. If I were to water based on the speed at which the media dries out, I would water some of these orchids twice a week. My Twinkles seem to dry out in two or three days. This little encyclia radiata doesn't seem to be using much water, but I'll bet it's dry in four or five days. This Wilsonara I've only had a week or two, but it seems to need frequent watering, between the small terracotta and the new bark. So I guess what I'm asking is, are there plenty of reasons where watering two or three times a week, despite it being winter, would make sense? I'm in N Ky where it's 65 F in the house and humidity is 45-50%. Several of these orchids are in east windows with lots of supplemental light. Thanks for any advice you might have!
