This maybe a basic question but a pat down answer eludes me.
How are you supposed to water orchids?
How often are you supposed to water?
I have in the past watered by dunking, pouring, used a pump sprayer, sprayed with spray bottle.
When I have mentioned spraying, I've been told No, when I said dunking I've been told it's to much, when I have poured it seems like it's not enough (bulbs shrivel mottling of leaves)
Now I think I have a pest problem and want to admin insectsidal soap but am afraid of over watering plant. It's a concentrate to add to water? I need help and don't want to lose collection have about 75 now
