Since its epiphytic roots need plenty of fresh air to breathe, it appreciates a little breathing room between drinks. Instead of letting the soil dry out into a hard, dusty block or keeping it constantly soaked, simply wait until the top 1 to 2 inches feel dry before giving it a fresh drink. Be sure to avoid overwatering or leaving the pot sitting in standing tray water, as too much moisture can cut off oxygen and lead to root rot.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"EOP Selected SCXW119411741 BCX0\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW1007058 BCX0\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW46047007 BCX0\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"EOP Selected SCXW75237978 BCX0\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"EOP Selected SCXW156591171 BCX0\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"EOP Selected SCXW194168591 BCX0\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"EOP Selected SCXW106564852 BCX0\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"EOP Selected SCXW119411741 BCX0\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" class=\"TextRun SCXW244587357 BCX0\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW244587357 BCX0\"\u003eThe Black Pagoda trailing plant usually loves a drink every 7–\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"NormalTextRun AdvancedProofingIssueV2Themed SCXW244587357 BCX0\"\u003e10 days\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW244587357 BCX0\"\u003e during its active spring and summer growing months (March–September), and every 2–3 weeks during its cozy winter rest (October–February).
