I hope I can get a clarification. I use the app to remind me to water/feed my plants. I have three moth orchids The app indicates that one should be watered every 9 days, the second every 11 days, and the third every 15 days. I do not know why there is such a difference. So, how often should I water the plants?

    do you have a clear pot? the best way to tell is when the roots turn a silvery color. when all of the outer roots are silver and there’s no more condensation in the pot it’s time to water :)

    Are they in different sized pots? Or different types of substrate? That would be the only reason I could think of for the difference in watering suggestions.

    Are they in different locations? App adjusts based on placement near windows, AC, heat, etc. so might be the one with more sun exposure has a shorter cycle because it will dry out faster.
