Regarding the "just add ice" -.
This gimmick originated at a company in Oberlin, Ohio
Here is their website
https://www.justaddiceorchids....
We happened to be in Oberlin a couple of years ago and managed by sheer luck to run into a lady who was employed at that place. We wound up talking about her work place and I learned about the ice gimmick.

I would think this company does at least something positive, it employs a huge number of people in their greenhouse ( I think about 2000) to grow Phalaenopsis. So rather than importing Orchids from who knows where, these are "made in America"!
And yes, please follow the advice given here, ditch the ice cubes and read our thread on Phals here.
