Mastering how to water orchids correctly can extend the life of these delicate plants. There must be few among us who haven't inadvertently killed a once beautiful orchid with a haphazard watering practice.
Even those who know how to care for orchids are not immune. For this tropical beauty hasn't earned its 'high maintenance' tag for nothing. Plucked from its hot, humid origins in the wild, it's no wonder orchids can struggle in our dry, temperate homes. Even orchids that are bred in a lab will hanker after the conditions they originally evolved in.
