Just Add Ice How-To Videos Demonstrate Orchid Care Basics

May 17, 2011

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. A writer can spend pages describing the shape and color of a Phalaenopsis Orchid, but the image of the plant that the reader conjures in his mind often falls far short of the plant’s actual beauty. A single photograph, however, shows the plant in exacting detail, allowing the viewer to experience for himself the stunning beauty and color of a Just Add Ice Orchid. We humans are a visual species. The more we see; the better we understand. Unlike words that can be misinterpreted or interpreted differently based on each person’s unique experiences, photographs create a common ground and clear away confusion, showing us precisely what is.

The same thing is true when we learn a new skill. It is easier to understand directions if we also see how something is done. That’s why Just Add Ice Orchids has created an online library of Orchid Care Videos to enhance the helpful orchid care tips provided on our website. Each brief video walks orchid owners through a different aspect of orchid care from Selecting a Healthy Orchid

Being unfamiliar with orchid anatomy and orchid terms, first-time orchid owners can find written instructions a little confusing. For example, when repotting an orchid, new owners may find it difficult to distinguish between a healthy root and one that should be removed. However, seeing the difference and watching while someone selects and snips off unhealthy roots during a video of the repotting procedure gives first-time owners the knowledge and tools they need to be successful Just Add Ice orchid growers.
