Born without a green thumb, I’ll try anything.

Turns out, plants dont always thrive in cramped sorority house bedrooms.

Should You Water Orchids With Ice Cubes?

I was gifted the orchida pretty purple-and-white thingand simply followed a friends advice.

It entailed putting two large ice cubes, give or take, once a week into the pot.

For reference, my orchid was not in direct sunlight, nor in a very warm area.

The once-per-week watering worked out well for me, since I could water before heading out on a trip.

As always, do your own researchand may you discover a green thumb.

Because why waste all that work!
