Providing Your Orchid with Water
When figuring out how much water your orchid requires, it’s important not to base your decision just on the color of the aerial roots. Examine the roots within the pot instead. Grayish roots suggest a lack of moisture, whereas green roots show sufficient moisture. Frequently, the aerial roots may become gray, which may be deceptive.
To sum up, orchids are fragile plants that need careful maintenance. Observing their roots—both potted and aerial—can provide information about their requirements and general health. Avoid the usual error of removing these essential aerial roots; instead, provide them with care to ensure the health and growth of your orchid.
