Keeping pre mixed orchid water warm! Female
Default Keeping pre mixed orchid water warm!

I just want to share with people how I water my orchids through the cooler months. I read on this forum at one point about concerns watering orchids, specifically phalaenopsis with cold water. To remedy this I purchased a windowsill heat mat, and put it on the Shelf below my life Garden, where I store the pre-mixed gallon jugs. It is a wooden Shelf, and I'm able to plug in the heat map easily where it is placed. The jugs sit on top of the heat mat warming up nicely . Now rather than having to water them with cooler than I would prefer water Temps, I can water them with slightly warmer than room temperature water. So I always have four gallon jugs with week MSU fertilizer ready to go. Maybe this is kind of ridiculous but it always bothered me pouring the pre-mixed solution that I felt was really too chilly. Any thoughts?
