Orchid: Express shares tips for watering plant<\/h3>\n

Orchids are one of the most popular houseplants to buy as they tend to last for many weeks.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Once the flowers have finally faded, it’s tempting to discard the indoor plant, but with a simple trick, it’s possible to make an orchid flower again, not only in a few months\u2019 time but for many years to come.<\/p>\n

Taking to the Gardening UK Facebook page, one woman shared how she got her orchid that had no flowers to \u201cflower like crazy\u201d with a step she followed \u201conce a week\u201d.<\/p>\n

Posting a picture of her orchid full of blooms, Katherine Reader wrote: \u201cMy mum gave me this orchid and it was in the reduced section at Tesco.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt had one blue flower on it and then it fell off and I thought well that’s the end of that.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been putting an ice cube in the bottom once a week and it’s turned out bloody fantastic with new different coloured flowers. As you can see it\u2019s flowering like crazy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Some gardening experts claim that using ice cubes is effective for watering orchids as it is the best practice for those who have a habit of overwatering their houseplants.<\/p>\n

The idea is that as the ice cubes slowly melt, they give the growing medium and roots enough time to absorb the water, providing the orchid with the exact amount of moisture it needs.<\/p>\n

Orchid experts at Just Add Ice suggested using this method. They said: \u201cContinue to water your orchid with three ice cubes once a week.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you have a petite orchid, use two cubes, and for a mini orchid use one.\u201d<\/p>\n
