How to water frequently without drowning the roots
Just wanted to let you know how I water frequently high humidity orchids such as stanhopeas and paphs without drowning the roots.
This works better in low humidity conditions.
After watering and let the excess of water drain through the bottom of the pot just put a piece of kitchen paper tissue, more or less thick, under the pot.
It will absorb the remaining water and, as it dries out in contact with the dry air, it will absorb even more water until it's dry.
In the process, and because the paper gets wet, it will release humidity in the vicinity of the plant.
Just another technique that works under my conditions.
