Orchids in Self Watering Pots: 1 Year Update on Phalaenopsis and Oncidium Twinkles

How are my orchids doing in a self watering system? Today, I'll share with you my thoughts on self watering pots for orchids, especially for phalaenopsis and smaller oncidiums. I trialed a few orchids in the self watering setup to see how they do in my environment and a year later, I think they're doing great. There are few tweaks that I need to make in the future, but I think orchids can be grown in self watering pots. --- Growing Environment Orange County, Southern California (USA) Zone 10B: Subtropical/Hot-semi arid climate - hot, dry summers / mild winters with low to moderate rainfall Average Summer Outdoor Temperatures: 63-83F Average Winter Outdoor Temperatures: 48-70F Average Rainfall: 13 inches/year Indoor Temperatures: 65-85F Indoor Humidity 40-60% East/West facing windows --- THINGS I USE: Self-watering pots: https://amzn.to/2Fl5lAm Sphagnum Moss: https://amzn.to/2FlqZVx Seedling Bark: https://amzn.to/2FjH8dH MSU Fertilizer for Well Water: https://amzn.to/2RfKTne Nutricote Slow Release Fertilizer: https://amzn.to/33kwQlI Seaweed Supplement: https://amzn.to/3ikIdR0 Silica Supplement: https://amzn.to/2GLYS21 Miticide for Spider Mites: https://amzn.to/2FlAIuO pH Meter: https://amzn.to/3dq5XS9 TDS Meter: https://amzn.to/2IiHu5J Plant Moisture Sensor: https://amzn.to/370Bb16 DISCLAIMER: Links included in this description may be affiliate links.
