Orchid media
Most people are used to growing plants in soil, not in bark and other media that orchids grow in or on.Because of the different potting media, beginners have to make a major adjustment in how they water. Beginners will typically water their new orchid and, just hours later, the orchid potting media will look dry again. So they give it a little more water. The cycle continues and they end up ovrter-watering and drowning the plant.
Orchid media are made to quickly absorb water and then dry out. It is loose and allows oxygen to flow around the plant's roots which the roots need to function correctly. If the potting media is kept wet, the roots soon rot and the plant starts to wilt because it cannot absorb the water needed. When this happens the beginner usually adds still more water thinking the plant needs it. |
