Need recovery!
I purchased a Phalaenopsis a few years ago and the plant did well for over a
year with plenty of blooms that lasted over 3 months. Then, I had the bright idea of repotting it in a glass jar with only a small hole at the bottom. From then on, the plant foliage started to get all soft and a few leaves turned yellow, same thing with the roots. I believed the pot kept too much moisture and the orchid had started to rot. I repoted it in its original container (terracota pot) thinking the orchid would recover... It did not and now I have only a few healthy roots and no foliage left! Since the leaves turned all yellow, I decided to cut them all. My question is: Since I have roots left, will the foliage start to grow again? I have been waiting for a few months (about 3 months) with no results. I would welcome your expertise and suggestions, is ti possible to save this plant? Thanks for your help! Helen |

Helen,
If you still have strong roots, there is a good chance your plant will put up leaves again one day. Mick |
