watering orchids
i'm still learning about these plants and i swear watering is the most confusing aspect,everyone has their own ideas and i was doing my own thing and nearly killed a few by over watering.being holiday time here i was worried about leaving my plants for an extended period,before i left for two weeks i visited a new orchid nursery owned by an old chinese man and he couldnt stress enough my once a week was too much,that every 10 to 14 days was sufficient.so i went on holiday in faith but sure i would come home and find a whole bunch of shrivelled dead orchids but instead i found them all right as rain with new growth all over the place.so now i have a new appreciation for these plants.
