I realised that, sorry didn't meant to imply that you were suggesting that. Just wasn't sure if LoveOscar was aware of them yet.

Although, the number of plants that survive people using ice water on them? Who knows.

I can only get JAI plants through Sam's Club, and I dont shop there.

Like you I like to use room temperature water. That's why I keep rain water stocks in the house as well as the stuff outside.
