Orchids can be watered just after they are planted. As long as its root is not damaged, it should be watered. In this way, the root system can be in better contact with the soil, which is conducive to its adaptation to the new environment. But if the root system is damaged, such as pruning rotten roots, ramets, etc. Don't water it immediately after planting, but let it through the slow seedling period.
1. Change pots: orchids change pots every year. Generally, the root will retain the soil ball and will not damage it, so it needs to be watered after basin change. Of course, if you accidentally hurt the root in the basin, you should not water it immediately
2. Root cutting: there are many reasons for cutting orchids, usually due to diseases and insect pests, waterlogging or burning roots with concentrated fertilizer, etc. Cutting roots will certainly hurt the roots, so it is not suitable to water immediately, need to first slow seedling maintenance, and then add water.
3. Seedling: seedling transplanting is different from basin changing. Its ability to adapt to the environment is not strong, so it is not suitable to water immediately after transplanting.
4. Dividing plants: when dividing orchids, it is often necessary to separate the daughter plants and the mother plants, which will hurt the roots. It's not advisable to water the plants immediately, but they usually recover quickly, so you don't have to wait too long
