How do you water your indoor orchids?

[emg53]

When I first started growing orchids I took them to the sink and soaked them in a pot for 10 minutes. I like to immerse them in water to see if they have any unwanted critters. I set a timer and did house work while I switched them out. However like many of you my 5 orchids quickly turned to 10 then 20.

I am fortunate that my orchids only have to be indoors for a few months. I have about 30 orchids now and it takes me quite a bit of time to water them all when they are inside. I take all of them outside to water them which is a lot of trips outside then back in. Fortunately my husband helps so it's not too bad. We just put up a 4 tier shelf at the sliding glass door so at least most of them are closer to outside now. The orchids that are in bloom are in the living room and kitchen. I am so glad that the weather will be warn enough in a couple of weeks to put them outside.

So those of you who have orchids inside how do you water them. I know many of you have them inside most of the year or all year. Do you have any tips on how to do it easier?
