Loved Orchids For 5 Years... Male
Default

I have a couple hundred. I have them in a sunroom. Some are mounted, some in semi-hydroponic containers, some in glass vases, and some are in pots, so they don't all need to be watered on the same day. You can read about all these growing methods here.

The mounted ones get sprayed with water or fertilizer every day, and I soak them for a few hours once or twice a week.

The Vandas and Phal in glass vases get their roots sprayed with water once or twice daily, and I soak them overnight 2-3 times per week.

The semi-hydroponic plants get watered about once a week.

The other plants in pots get watered when they are dry. I like to look at them every day. The little seedlings get watered almost daily, and others every 2-4 days this time of year.

Watering isn't a chore for me. It's something to which I look forward.
