#orchidwatering #wateringplants #wateringorchids It's water!! What is the big deal? The best water for orchids is rain, or is it? I have used tap water for years and never had a problem! My well water is perfect for my orchids! Out in nature orchids get rained on! I soak my orchids when I water them! I have never used a pH or TDS meter! All these experiences, and more, are out there, so... in this video I will address some facts when it comes to the water quality, or the lack thereof, we use to water and fertilize our orchids. Why can one orchid grower use tap water and have no issues, while the other orchid grower's orchids suffer when they use tap water? Is rain really that good for orchids as many experts say? And why, in some cases, do we have to specify which water source we are using, when we buy specific fertilizers, be it MSU or RainMix? ? Make this channel work for you! I am very open to any comments or questions, this video may have brought up. Feel free to ask away and know that I will get back to you as soon as possible! Also, if you have any suggestions that you would like me to address in a video, mention them in the comments below and I will be happy to film a personalized video under the series 'Subscribers Inspire'! ? If it is the first time for you, on my channel... Welcome!!

#orchidcare #chatgpt #artificialintelligence Will artificial intelligence one day be the keepers of orchids? Can artificial intelligence take over orchid care, orchid pest control, use the best orchid potting mix, ensuring the best orchid watering schedule, or the best orchid fertilizer? How about; can artificial intelligence teach us more about orchid care guides than we assume to know? I am using Chat GPT to bring you the best care for dendrobium orchids, and will revisit this artificial intelligence information as the technology updates over the coming years. How much can we learn about orchid care tips from artificial intelligence? #orchidtypes #cattleya #orchidspecies #orchid #diseases #pests #orquideas ? Make this channel work for you!
