Remember to Keep Watering Orchids during Dormancy

It’s easy to remember to water Just Add Ice Orchids when they’re in full bloom. At peak bloom, the curving stem of a Phalaenopsis orchid is lined with huge, colorful blossoms. As soon as you walk into a room, Just Add Ice Orchids draw the eye and bring a smile to your face. Such constant attention makes it hard to forget that your orchid needs a little tender loving care – and 3 ice cubes -- once a week.

But when the flowers on your orchid fade and drop off and your plant enters dormancy, all you have left is a pot of droopy green leaves. Without its eye-catching blooms to capture your attention, watering orchids can be easy to overlook. But your Just Add Ice Orchid  still needs to be watered with 3 ice cubes once a week. If you relocate your orchid to a less conspicuous display space during dormancy, it can be even harder to remember that your orchid still needs a little care even when it’s not in bloom.
