I received my Golden Pothos yesterday. I replanted it today. I didn't water upon receiving, but 3 small ice cubes in today because the soil seemed kind of dry. Was that the right thing to do?

Hi Lisa, in my opinion, yes. Even more ice cubes wouldn’t hurt. First I would test the soil by placing a chopstick all the way down in the soil. If you pull the chopstick up and there are soil seeking to it has enough water. If it’s dry, then you might wanna add a few ice cubes. Make sure you do not disturb the roots.￼I hope this information helps. Good luck. 👍

Personally, I would just stick my finger in the soil. If it’s damp, water it! Don’t over complicate it.

@Succulent_Soul · Answer

I think it’s fine if you added the ice cubes. I usually don’t use ice cubes since they can cause damage to the roots from the cold temps.

If the soil was moist don't worry! The ice cube thing is a myth. Let the first couple inches of the soil dry out before watering again. So, if you can stick your finger in the soil all the way down to the second knuckle and all you feel is dry, then top water it with a cup or a watering can! Dont worry they're hard to kill
