@gracegrows @syu just make sure your medium dries out between soaks!

Iā€™m very new to orchid care. I watered mine today, how long do you let yours soak for? Also, I noticed one of the roots on my orchid appeared to have a bit of rot. There was a black spot near the end. How do I prevent that? Thank you so much!

@bluebladeliger 10-15 minutes but it can soak up to an hour or longer.

As for black spots on the roots, i haven't fully solved that yet.

@RJG Thank you so much!
It was really close to the end of the root, so I trimmed it off, because I though it might spread up the root. Should I have left it?

Look at those roooots!! Yesterday was a major Soak Saturday for a large chunk of my #OrchidOrg! They each get their own little mugs, Tupperware, and some even get their own ramikens to soak in šŸ›€
