Hard water is desirable to protect a few days previously in a separate container.
1. Orchids put in a pot.
2. Heat the water up to 35-40oC, pour in a pot.
3. Time 15-60 minutes.
4. Drain.
5. Flowering specimens did not fertilize, as they wither quickly.

Use clear plastic pots - the roots photosynthesize and will remain in the pot as they grow.. and are also easier to water. Note the plants weight when wet so you have a good idea of when it requires watering. Keep the Phalaenopsis at a minimum of 18 celsius, if the leaves are dull and/or droopy raise humidity to 50% minimum. Don't use ceramic, as the roots will adhere and you'll likely badly damage the orchid if you repot it.

Did anyone else notice that the orchid he was watering looked droopy and half dead? (o.O)

@KITTENDELISH The orchid was a bit droopy, but just because it needed some water. I tend to keep them dry to prevent root rot, especially in the cooler months when they use less water.

I have heard the same thing. I let the water sit for a few days sometime. I have not had trouble however with direct tap water. I would imagine it depends on water system as all water is not equal, hard, soft, etc.
