Orchid noob question

Postby Lawndude84 » Sat Feb 13, 2010 10:51 pm

I bought my wife a Phalaenopsis Orchid from Lowe's the other day (Yes Veronis, those crazy Orchids DO ask for cart rides ;) ). I do not know very much about them other than they do not like as much sunlight as CP's. Is tap water OK for them?

Tap water has pH is a little bit high but OK. If you can adjust pH to be around 6.5 then it's perfect. I grow all my orchids with tap water without any problem.
