The process isn’t as daunting as it may seem. Here’s how to nurture your hydroponic orchid:
Establishment: Ensure that the orchid roots are suspended in a shallow layer of water, about 3 centimeters deep, for a week to let them adapt.
Water Management: Once the water level decreases, replenish it to the same depth. Avoid excess as this can lead to root rot.
Observation and Adjustment: Monitor the water consumption; if the water depletes too quickly, delay the next refill to prevent overhydration.
Avoiding Direct Sunlight: Orchids appreciate light, but direct sunlight can harm the plant. A bright, but indirect, light source is ideal.
Cultivating an orchid in water is a beautiful way to display these enchanting plants. With attentive care, you can enjoy their splendor without the soil.
