Today 27 April at 1.48 pm viktor started scribbling here. A blue Monday and rather late reaching workplace.
At about 6.00 am, watered orchids which was potted and hanged on veranda available space on a second floor apartment. You can grow healthy orchid in an apartment. Just look at the orchid pictures posted here.
Fill in tap water into home-brew 'drip' made from drinking bottle for some Phalaenopsis orchid (amabilis, sumatrana, maculata, fuscata, belina). The weather is hot and dry for the past few days. Thermometer reads 31 degree Celsius (88 degree Fahrenheit) in the afternoon. This weather dries up quickly any moistures on potting mixture in this place located at the Equator.

A potting mixture that consists of fern and charcoal on clay or plastic pot does not hold water much. Or, if your orchid is hanged on a fern slab. Both medium last longer anyway, and it will last more than a year. Nevertheless growing orchid using these methods require watering often during dry and hot days as moisture on media dries up quickly. I found out that Phalaenopsis loves moisture during this period. Roots develop healthy and faster after giving drips regularly. A home-brew slow drip provide wetting for a few hours to the orchid.
This orchid drip is made from trash plastic bottle (drinking/mineral water). An opening is cut on the bottom part of the bottle using a kitchen knife or a scissor. This opening is where you fill in water. Make a pinhole on the center part of the bottle cap. A pinhole (very small opening) is needed so as to get a slow drips. A very slow drop of water droplets is what you need. As slow as 1 drop per minute. You then invert the bottle and use any durable twine to hang it just something like the intravenous drip you often find on hospital bed.
A half liter (500ml) bottle drops water droplets for 2 or 3 hours. This depends on the drip opening. Keep on clearing the pinhole if it is clogged after using it for sometime.
