Monsoon

[Townsville]

We have gone into our monsoon season. Has rained solidly for the past two weeks and humidity is usually 80-90%. My thirty orchids are on my front verandah - I skipped a watering this week. How much water ddo they ansorb from humidity? Should I keep on the three waters a week that I usually give them? This is our growing season and most of them are growing quite fast.

You should water the plants based on how wet the medium is. With such high humidity it probably isn't drying out as quickly and they won't need three waters a week. You might keep a skewer in each pot to keep track of how damp or wet they are.
