aah, okay. The tag that it came with just said "Orchid" with instructions to water with 3 ice cubes once a week to "keep plant alive for several months". I'm assuming that it can live much longer, right?
Ken, I wasn't aware that you sell tropicals, where are you located and do you ship plants? I live on Long Island.
I made sure to rinse the soap off well. Ty Elaine! Also, there are absolutely no holes for drainage in the tin "pot" that it came in, but I planned on repotting it anyway. Perhaps in a heavier pot because it seems like it wants to tip over now.
