    No.

    When in nature would a phalaenopsis ever see ice?

    many people {including me} find the just add ice orchids a slow way to kill the plants.
    although the justaddice orchid ice cube method ensures one doesn't over water a plant, it is not a great way to grow them and may in fact be a way to underwater them.
    if you are trying this on species plants with this method, i do not think it will be terribly successful. if it is, good on you....
    what do you mean 3 ice cubes and 4 phals?
