Watering orchids with ice can alleviate the problems associated with overwatering or underwatering. The Ohio State University and the University of Georgia studied the effects of orchid watering with ice compared to the traditional watering method.
They concluded that watering orchids with ice is just as effective as traditional orchid watering and had no negative impact on the plant. Additionally, because orchids take in water more slowly as the ice melts, the ice watering method can allow them to absorb water better.
