Orchid Care for Light, Temperature & Humidity

Taking care of Just Add Ice ORCHIDS is as simple as 1-2-3!

  1. Orchid LightingOrchid Lighting
    Just Add Ice Orchids flourish in a home or office environment with bright, in-direct light at any temperature that is comfortable for humans. Be careful of overexposing your orchid to direct sunlight, as sunburned leaves and bloom drop could result. Also, watch out for dull, limp foliage, as this indicates not enough water.
  2. Orchid Temperature
    Optimal temperatures range from 18 to 26 degrees C during the day and 15 to 21 degrees C at night. To help prolong the life of your orchid, avoid cold or warm drafts, such as near an open window or heat vent.
  3. Humidity for Orchids
    Originating in the tropics, an orchid enjoys moist air at a humidity level between 55-75%. If you observe deformed emerging flowers or leaves it is likely the result of low humidity. To raise humidity levels, set the plant on a saucer of gravel filled with water so the pot does not sit in the water.
