When is the best time to water dends? Morning or evening?

Shell

I've been told it doesn't realy matter, as long as the leaves an so get a
chance to dry up. If the plants themselves stay wet it can cause fungus and
rot. I water when the sun doesn't hit the plants and when I have time for
it. Often in the eavening sometimes at night.

Depending on the weather one or two times a week. When it's very hot and dry
sometimes even 3 times a week, but rarely.

Morning through late afternoon I would guess. I do mine currently around
4-5pm.

I let the potting mix dry out comepletely before watering again.

If you can stick to mornings, it precludes a lot of problems.

Don't remember who said it, but the expression "Water in the afternoon, and
replace the plant next week" comes to mind. It's especially important for
Phalaenopsis to have a dry crown going into evening. Avoid getting water in
the crown in any event, but do water them in the AM to avoid the dreaded
crown rot.
