Hello! This is classified as a bush Lily but at the store...

#BushLily #Orchid
6” pot with drainage
Last watered 3 years ago
this looks like an orchid to me just not in bloom!
i’m not sure if they are but in the picture it looks like there’s ice cubes in the bottom
if there are i would recommend taking those out as they can kill the orchid despite what it says on some of the plant tags orchids like most plants don’t like being watered with cold water and would prefer being watered about once every week with room temperature water and avoid watering in the middle of the plant where the leaves are and instead water at the base where the dirt is
hope this helps some :D
Thank You so much!
On the instructions it says ice cubes, and my roommates don’t listen when I tell them that Ice cubes are harmful
i would also recommend putting it in bright indirect light and on your card it says your pot doesn’t have drainage so i would say you could either transfer it to one that does have drainage or be very careful watering as a pot with no drainage is prone to root rot
Yes it has drainage, and Im in the process of moving them
Thank You
@PoisonIvy23 ofc!! and yeah i’m not sure why on the card it says ice cubes maybe just because they want you to keep buying more after you kill them with the ice 😭
@PoisonIvy23 ofc i’m glad i can help :D
Yep it’s an orchid!
Don’t put ice cubes in it!
