Hello all,
Next week I leave for vacation for about three weeks! I was thinking of making a dripping system to water my orchids, cause there is no willing friend that could take care of them or cannot water then as often as they should be... My collection consists of paphs, phals, dendros, coelogyne, maxillaria, gongora, bulbos and some others!
I was thinking something like that on the photo, that will start from a large container and the little extentions will end up in the pots of the plants! The red tips can be screwed so that the flow is controlled! The flow will be continuous through the day & night cause I cannot adjust a timer, so I was wondering how much water should end up in the pots daily!?????? There will be pc fans blowing in the growing area all the day from 9:00 to 19:00, mainly on hot hours of the day, with some 15-30 min intervals!
Also if you have any other cheap and effective ideas feel free to share it!!
