Last year, I used 50ppm N once a week, and the roots of my 2 gode weren't so happy. Cheap hygrometer (with daily min max) is probably worth it. Orchids can grow without it, but lots of people underestimate importance of monitoring and controlling the air humidity. I like this one:
Amazon.com - AcuRite 613 Indoor Humidity Monitor
which shows all info, and min max get reset everyday. |
I try to use bottled/distilled water. If I dont I do a flush once a month. Yes idt dries quickly that why they get soaked every other day or so.
