RE: Practical guide to Phalaenopsis orchid watering

@fantagira...


I do actually have another question...

All of the above? Would be curious as to what you "use" for fertilizer. We have used boiled banana water, as well as potato water (not straight from the stove mind you!). For actual watering... we have been using rain water we collect outside. Curious of your thoughts!

    Haha, all of the above, you got it!

    Rain water is the best for sure!

    Home made fertilisers are great too and I use them occasionally, but while they give your orchids some minerals, others will be missing, so it’s good to add a balanced fertiliser to the routine too. Even if it’s tomato fertiliser, as it has pretty much all your orchids need. Mixing it with a rain water is great, as tap water already has additives and with fertiliser on top it’s easy to burn root.

    All the best with your developing flower spike! Can’t wait to see the blooms 😍
