I have them in net pots with leca in a stainless pan with an inch of water every other day I use the water in the pan to water other plants and replace it with fresh by flushing through the net pots into the empty pan untill I have an inch in the pan.

The water I use has a very low dose of fertilizer. I’ll post a picture when I get home

I wouldn't give the water to other plants. Good way to pass along ailments to otherwise healthy plants.

Not other orchids, I have some banana and hibiscus in pots outside that’s what gets the water.

Really just don’t like the way the algae looks, not sure if there’s anything I could do that wouldn’t hurt the orchids tho
