The same with an orchid, you must water it at the proper times. Orchids should get enough water but not too much to drown them. Drowning them and drying them up without water are just synonymous. Both are detrimental to your orchids.

Watering them early in the day is one way to show proper care for orchids. This is a good thing in order for the orchids to dry out upon reaching the evening. Aside from this, you must also consider the weather conditions of the area where you live. This is also a key factor in determining how frequent you must water your orchids.

If you’re living in areas visited frequently by rain, then it is not good to water orchids everyday. If you keep on watering them in spite of the rains, they would drown due to too much water.

You must also ensure that your orchid gets enough amount of light as it also needs the light to thrive and become healthy. Too much light can also weaken the orchid so you just need to make sure that they get the light that they need. If they seem to be weak, you may need to use fertilizers to supplement whatever nutrients they lack from their environment.
