Water requirements Washington orchid (Phalaenopsis) - 70cm

You might expect this houseplant to require a lot of water because of its beautiful flowers. Just keep in mind that the soil the Washington orchid stands in should always remain slightly moist. However, watering the orchid is slightly different from what you are used to. We recommend pouring the water only on the soil and never on the plant itself. Even better is to take the Washington orchid out of the pot and put the entire root ball in the water for a few minutes. This way, the roots of this houseplant can absorb the water well and there will never be a layer of water in the pot. Do let the root ball leak out well otherwise root rot may occur.
