Orchid seems to need watering every 2-3 days
I recently repotted my Phal and Dend with just fir bark and charcoal
mixture. In fact was bought in home depot marked for orchids. Water it then about a couple of days ago and today, I noticed one leaf turning pale on the Phal and on the Dend the 3 remaining flowers were sort of curling to itself. Not a good site. I took them both out and sure enough except for the very bottom of these clay 4" inch pots were dry. Some of the roots were rotting and I clipped the bad ones off. But they were healthy looking a couple of days ago. Did the repotting do this? Are they that sensitive? I like it when the botanical garden book that I have on orchids recommends to water them at best weekly with a fir bark soil arrangement. Mine needed it in 2 to 3 days. Its enough to drive one insane...only kidding. |
