First at all I'm blessed to live in Southeast Florida so the conditions here are great for the orchids, plenty of sun light, wind, rain and humidity!!
I collect rain water and try to use it in my plants as much possible, I grow them outdoors and when they are in bloom I bring them in the house for everybody to enjoy them.
I have learn that you can loose or damage more the plant for underwater than overwater them both extreme are bad but a great solution is to add humidity trays to all your plants, its a very easy way to see if you they nedd some more water and if in doubt I just add water to the tray!
I fertilize my orchids with water-soluble fertilizers, and add Superthrive and a little dish soap to the sprayer when mixing the fertilizer.
Healthy and Happy roots
