I’m afraid I’ve been rather lazy since the Autumn and I
really haven’t been caring for all my house plants, my cymbidium orchids prefer
the cooler conditions of my conservatory and like to be moist, though not
overwatered, but I haven’t watered them at all!!! So I’ve dunked them in a bowl
of water until the pot felt heavy and allowed them to drain before putting them
back on their tray of new gravel.
I also checked
some of the pots outside and a couple sheltered by a wall are bone dry even
after all this wet weather so it may be worth checking all your planters, if alternatively
they are under water use a few bricks or Patio container feet to raise them up
to avoid them sitting in the wet. I’ve also had a bit of a clean up of all my containers
and cut back leaves and removed debris, I’ve spruced them up by covering them
with gravel as I had some left over from the house plant trays!
