Free Watering Reminder Calendar from Just Add Ice Orchids

December 6, 2010

It’s the perfect holiday gift combination, an elegant Just Add Ice Orchid and a FREE desktop watering reminder calendar. Just Add Ice Orchids make a stunning gift for everyone on your holiday shopping list. Phalaenopsis orchids are not only gorgeous; they’re so easy to care for that even first-time orchid growers experience beautiful success.

The key to growing orchids, and the place where many orchid owners meet their doom, is watering. It’s easy to overwater orchid plants which can cause them to fail. Phalaenopsis orchids require less water than many other houseplants and grow best when water is provided early in the day. Overwatering can cause plant roots to drown and decay. Phalaenopsis orchids are monopodial, meaning they grow from a single stem, and are not able to store as much water in their leaves as the pseudobulbs found on sympodial orchid varieties. Watering in the morning provides Phalaenopsis orchids with an even water supply.

Sound complicated? That’s why Just Add Ice Orchids are so popular. Watering Just Add Ice Phalaenopsis Orchids is extraordinarily easy. Just place 3 ice cubes on top of the soil once a week. As the ice cubes melt, they provide the perfect amount of water for your orchid. It couldn’t be easier!
