Before I got the two orchids that I have now, my daughter and her sister in law brought home two others. They bought them for themselves but I ended up trying to care for them!
The directions on the tag told me to "water by laying two ice cubes on the substrate once a week." That didn't seem sensible to me...I mean, ICE?
Of course they soon died.
When I got these two a lady who had worked in a green house advised removing the plastic inner pot and allowing water to run through the substrate for a few minutes. Then when t had drained pretty well, replace it in the outer pot.
Is that the accepted way to water? It has worked well for me for going on three years now...
