You choose the day of the week that’s convenient for you to water your orchid and we’ll send you a weekly reminder.
Just Add Ice Phalaenopsis Orchids are an excellent choice to give first-time orchid owners. One of the hardiest orchid species, Phalaenopsis orchids are known for being easy to care for. However, even the most accommodating plant still requires attention to its basic needs if it is to thrive. Watering has proven to be the area that most confuses new orchid owners. Over-watering is the primary cause of orchid failure. We developed our simple watering system -- just add ice – to take the guesswork out of watering our Just Add Ice Orchids.
In addition to receiving the correct amount of water every week, your new Just Add Ice Orchid should receive plenty of bright but indirect sunlight. Direct sunlight is too harsh for these exotic plants and can burn the plant’s leaves. Keep your orchid away from drafts and in an area with a temperature between 60 and 85 degrees F.
