Just got this orchard I need some care tips. And should I really be watering it with ice cubes?

NO ICE!!!!! Water when roots are silver. North facing window and when you water run it under the tap (warm water) until it is all wet and let it fully drain before putting it back into the cover pot. When flowers die don’t cut the stem and care for it as normal- they will grow back :)

Never ice 🧊 cubes they are two cold and will shock the plant. U would not give ur kid or your dog ice cubes and tell them to use them as there only source of water so don’t do it to your plants! No tap either leve water out with cap off for over 24 - 48 hours to let any bad things evaporate

So I recently saw someone talk about water conditioner for fish tank water to make tap water safe. Maybe you can try that if you’re using tap water. Or probably make your own distilled water. I took the lazier route with the water conditioner though lol.
