#i feel so bad i just saw another person on the orchid subreddit posting confused why their orchid is suffering

I just saw another post about this so this is a public service annoucement.

Stop watering your orchid with ice!

Take that tag and chuck it in the garbage! Phalaenopsis orchids are tropical and will slowly suffer when treated this way.

Phal Orchids are incredibly easy to take care of, the problem is all the purposeful misinformation.

To water your orchid, soak the plant in a sink of room temp water for 15-30 min about once a week then shake the water off. If the moss/bark is still damp between waterings leave it until the moss/bark dries. Be careful to not get the leaves or center (crown) of the plant wet, remove the water from the leaves with a paper towel if you do by accident.
