orchid roots

Throughout the year, orchids need different amounts of water for optimum growth. During the latency period (usually in winter), that require less water for growth and flowering seasons, they need more. The beginning of the flowering season is indicated by a swollen lymph on stems or spikes. When you see the buds begin to swell, is the signal to provide more water for your orchids.
Adequate water is essential during OUTBREAK
To produce flowers, orchids use more energy and resources, especially water. Because the flowers are composed mostly water, flowers and foliage of vapor release water through transpiration. Perspiration is simply the process by which water is lost when the plant opens pore. Naturally, the plant must compensate for the loss of water. In addition, the orchid uses hydraulic pressure to force the buds open into a flower. The cells of outbreaks should be filled with water to inflate like a balloon expansion. Without enough water, water pressure is too low to open the buds.
Under dehydration and explosions Bud
If your orchid under water during the critical stage of bud formation, your orchid conserve moisture in the leaves, buds hungry water they need. This will cause the buds wither and fall from the plant. This condition, when the egg is dropped before flowering is known as a blow "Bud". Although there are other possible reasons "Bud shots" under irrigation is usually the cause.
Water warm water
Never use cold water for watering your orchids. Cold water can shock the roots and shoots, and slow growth. A difference 10 degrees Fahrenheit or more between the water and the temperature can damage the cells of the plant. Ideally, water should be warm, the water should feel comfortable to the touch, neither too hot nor too cold.
