You probably know that, as in case of most plants, excessive watering can lead to the death of orchids. But you may wonder if there is a precise dosage to water this fragile and sensitive plant, or whether the dosage should be the same in winter and summer?
The answer is simple. I discovered a trick that keeps the orchid healthy and beautiful for a long time. It consists simply in putting 3 ice cubes a week into the orchid pot, which provide the ideal amount of water for the plant.
Don’t worry, the roots will not freeze. Try and see that the trick is working.
