Watering Idea

[Vanda lover]

I have done this occasionally. I reuse the water mixed with fertilizer for my vase culture plants. Then the throw what is left in the garden or water my house plants with it.

I'll let you know if I decimate my orchid collection.
Luckily I don't have anything truly expensive.
Plus all my orchid are virus free... so unless I do something really stupid I feel I'll be pretty safe.

Bacterial and fungal disease can be spread this way. Of course, I know people that do it, and used to myself, without problem.
