In winter, it’s a lot of work to water them, as I like soaking them for an hour and need to empty the pot individually. I collect rain water outdoors to avoid the mineral building up problem as water is very hard here too. But sometimes, when I have none, I just use tap water, they adapt!
I asked neighbours or set up auto hydration system to water in patio, so far works fine, as we can be away for weeks. I strongly advise against ice cubes, it’s a shock to the plants that can lead to death.
