Mounted Aerangis winter watering

10 years ago

Hello!

This is my first post here, however- I am an avid reader of this forum (and a gritty-mix enthusiast).

I am not confident the watering regime I have employed is correct for my mounted orchids and would greatly appreciate your advice.

I have a number of angraecum and aerangis species, all mounted on plain cork. My growing conditions are:

-They are placed on a west facing window- receiving indirect light.

-Temperatures are max 16C in daytime and min 10C during night time.

-Humidity is 50-70%

As we have winter in Scotland, I am worried about over watering. As I do not grow them in a greenhouse, I also worry about letting them dry. Most seem dormant at the moment, but a few have growing roots.

I have read a number of watering techniques: from daily misting to letting dry and dunking them once a week.
I have posted this question on another forum but haven't received a reply.

What should I do?
