@monstrofarm: I didn’t think watering this orchid would be so difficult… 🪨🌸 I thought it might work: water in the plate, moisture moves up the rock, and the moss keeps her roots hydrated. But, it didn’t go as planned. So here’s how I’m watering her now: 💧 First, I put the whole setup over a bowl and slowly water the sphagnum from the top. When moss gets really dry, water can run through before it has a chance to soak in, so I take my time and make a few passes. 🪨 Then, I lower the rock into the water to help soak the moss around the roots, keeping the crown, where the leaves meet, above the water. 🌱 Once the moss is hydrated, I lift everything out and let the excess drain. The goal is moist moss with airflow around the roots. 👆 Between waterings, I check the moss instead of following a set schedule. With everything exposed like this, she dries out much faster than she did in a pot. She’s definitely more work than I planned, but I’m not ready to give up on the rock just yet. #TikTokLearningCampaign #EduTok #plants #gardeningtiktokcontest
