Orchids are beautiful and delicate flowers that require special care to thrive. One of the most important aspects of orchid care is watering. Orchids have specific watering needs that must be met in order to keep them healthy and blooming. Watering your orchid the “best way” means providing the right amount of water at the right time, and avoiding overwatering or underwatering.
Overwatering is one of the most common mistakes orchid owners make. Orchids do not like to sit in wet soil, and their roots can easily rot if they are overwatered. Underwatering can also be harmful to orchids, as it can cause the plant to wilt and die.
