Some gardeners recommend placing pieces of ice in the pot.

The essence of this method is that the ice gradually melts and promotes the slow absorption of life-giving moisture by the flower, which means that you can save time on watering.

In addition, you can freeze not just ordinary water, but even liquid compounds and fertilizers.

Ice will also be a kind of stress for the orchid, which means that it will be a reason to throw out the flower stalk and bloom.
