another orchid query
What do you think of this?
My daughter visited a lady who had a lot of orchids (phals). They were all looking healthy and most in flower. She keeps them standing in tepid water!!! |

If the roots are permanently wet they rot, so I would imagine she only has a saucer of water under each plant, the plants are in a very free draining compost (large bark chips?) and probably in one of the orchid pots that has a raised bottom. I can see that working as it would give the roots high humidity without too much wet and if the plant wants more water it will send a root or two down into the water, a Vanilla Orchid I've got did that. -- Regards.
