Default Watering made simple for the home orchid grower !

There's a new story entry added:

Watering made simple for the home orchid grower !


Quote:
Since the biggest majority of orchid addicts grow somewhere in their living space, I would like to show and tell you two options that work for us !Option one:You can cut your watering time greatly if you have trays (either bought or made) that drain on the racks you grow your orchids on.

Very good idea. A little bit of work, but it's very functional and practical. I like the low profile of these trays. Well done!

Thanks to both of you ! It is a bit a of work but sooooo worth it, as watering for the home orchid grower is one of the biggest challenges ! This method makes it a piece of cake once the project is finished ! I forgot to mention I use a "coiled" lightweight hose that attaches to my kitchen faucet. It easily reaches all the racks in the sunroom !

I'm surprised you don't have it connected to evestroughs, so when it rains it automatically waters your plants hehe
