In the summer season, the ideal place to display them is on the balcony or in the garden, provided that you place them in a cool or shaded spot. The chosen spot should also be humid because naturally, orchids are accustomed to living in environments where it rains several times a day.
To ensure they have the right humidity, it is advisable to place them on a large saucer immersed in water and to spray the foliage every day.
How to water orchids
The best method for watering orchids is to touch the substrate with your hands every 3 to 5 days: if it’s dry, it’s the right time to water.
The best time to water orchids is in the morning. After a generous watering, wait 15 minutes to drain the saucer and remove any water that hasn’t been absorbed.
You can also determine when to water your plants by looking at the color of the roots emerging on the surface. If the color is silvery-gray, it means they need water, while you don’t need to water them if they are turgid and green.
