Orchids are beautiful flowers that require specific and attentive care, including the right type of soil, sun, and fertilizer. Glass containers are disadvantageous as they don’t come with drainage holes at the bottom. To plant orchids in glass vases with a drainage layer, ensure the potting medium is well draining and don’t overwater. Decorative elements can be added to give the orchids a fabulous look.
To choose, water, fertilize, and repot orchids in glass containers, consider factors such as their health and longevity. Make DIY preservatives for cut orchids and learn how to water, trim, and place them correctly according to your growing zone and preferences. Watering should be done only for white roots, and substrate-free culture is suitable for allergy sufferers or sensitive individuals.
Watering an orchid should be done when it needs moisture, rather than offering it a drink every time you have an unfinished glass of H2O to dispose of. Orchids don’t like their roots to sit in water, so check that there is no water sitting in the bottom of the vase. Don’t overwater, as adding too much water can cause the leaves to turn yellow.
To completely hydrate an orchid, add water to the pot every few days and let it dry up. Do not let the plant sit in standing water for days and days. Place ice cubes on top of the bark once a week in summer and one cube in winter. Drain any excess water after watering if there is any. Fill the planter with water up to just below the top of the planter and leave it for about 10 minutes to get saturated but don’t let it sit.
