What time of day should you water orchids?

The best time of day to water orchids is in the morning, before the sun gets too strong. Direct sunlight on a droplet of water can cause a small scorched spot, but this will also help prevent root rot and crown rot, because the water has lots of daytime to evaporate. You can also water them late in the evening, but be sure to avoid wetting the leaves overnight as this can lead to fungal problems.
