I agree too. These plants do need good drainage so use caution while it is still in this glass container. Ice is not the best way to water a tropical plant. room temp water is bwetter as the surface roots can suffer from cold damage with ice or cold water. With no drainage and air, it will not need a lot of water. Usually you would water and flush the pot well and then let it almost completely dry out before watering again. Another concern with no drainage is that fertilizer salts will build up and can't be flushed out. I always set my regular pot of blooming ones into a decorative pot which also helps stabilize them with their tall spike. Then take them out when they are done blooming.
