Watering Your Orchid

It’s important not to rely solely on the color of aerial roots to determine your orchid’s watering needs. Instead, check the roots within the pot. Green roots indicate sufficient moisture, while grayish roots suggest they need water. Keep in mind, aerial roots may turn gray even when the plant still needs water, which can be misleading.

In Conclusion: Orchids are delicate plants that require careful attention. By monitoring both the aerial and potted roots, you can better understand their needs. Avoid the common mistake of cutting these essential roots. Instead, nurture them, ensuring your orchid stays healthy and thriving.
