Use 1-3 ice cubes per week for a standard-sized orchid (adjust depending on pot size and temperature).
Place the ice cubes on top of the media, avoiding direct contact with the leaves or stem.
Monitor the Plant:
Check the roots to ensure they’re green and plump, indicating healthy hydration.
If roots are shriveled, increase the number of ice cubes slightly.
Other Tips for Spectacular Orchid Blooms
Fertilize Regularly:
Use a balanced orchid fertilizer (20-20-20) diluted to half strength once a month.
Stop fertilizing when the orchid is in full bloom to avoid overfeeding.

Orchids love humidity! Use a humidity tray or mist the plant occasionally to create a suitable environment.
Repot When Necessary:
Repot your orchid every 1-2 years to refresh the growing medium and prevent root rot.
