After you received the arrangement please wait 7-10 days before starting watering routine.

Over watering is number one killer for any indoor plants and orchid plants are not an exception. Orchid plants don’t mind to dry out a little between watering. This is especially important for our orchid arrangements as they are not arranged in a container with drainage.

All of our orchid arrangements have decorative material on top like moss or rocks. It is important to check moisture level of potting mix underneath decorative elements before watering.

Stick your finger about an inch deep into a potting mix, close to plant base, and if it feels moist avoid watering and check again in a few days.

We recommend to use ice cubes to water orchids that are arranged in a vase. Yes, that is right, ice! If your orchid plant potted in a container that has no drainage using ice to water orchids is the best way to avoid root rotting and make sure orchids get the amount of water they need. Ice cubes will melt and slowly release water over time. This prevents water from sitting at the bottom of a vase. If you have more than one orchid plant in a vase, you’ll want to give each plant serving of 3 large ice cubes. Place ice cubes around each plant, under leaves and close to plant base.Watering orchids with ice will not harm leaves or roots. Use 3 large ice cubes per plant on average once every 7-10 days. Always check moisture level of potting material underneath decorative layer before watering.

When using ice technique to water arrangement that is decorated with moss is best to move moss aside from the base of an orchid plant when placing ice cubes around it. This way water gets to the roots of an orchid plant instead of being mostly absorbed by moss.
