Help Me With the Basics on Watering Cambodian Orchids
Its pretty quiet in Siem Reap so in between Angkor Wat and Bangkok, I fiddle with Orchids, which are sold everywhere and are about a dollar each. I have attached some pics.
They are sold in little plastic pots or in baskets or Coconuts. Coconuts usually have 2or 3 plants, baskets 3, the ones in baskets they just put the orchids in without even taking off the pots! Then just fill the pot with coir
I have so many of them that I too am putting them in shallow pots, 3-4, filling them with coir and thats it.
All have some fertilizer that the Orchid ladies give me. Little round pellets.
My question is watering. The ones I have outside I water every day, sometimes twice in hot season especially when its breezy/ I use a pump up sprayer and wet the wood and mist the roots. But the ones inside in the pots? I have been wetting the wood and coir until a little water appears in the drainage, every other day and they seem healthy, but should I water more? Or less? I am getting lots of growth.
Thanks for your help.
