How to save my orchid?

[estación seca]

Welcome to the Orchid Board!

It should survive with just a little care.

Do some reading first. Go to Forums in the left yellow menu. Choose Beginners. Near the top look for the sticky thread The Phal. abuse stops here. Read the first few pages of messages.

Then get your materials together. Many people use medium orchid bark or LECA clay balls from a hydroponics shop. Use a small pot. Pot so the newest, small root at the base of the leaves is just under the surface of the medium when you are done. Some of the roots will be up in the air. This is OK.

Soak the newly repotted plant in a bowl of water for 4-8 hours. Take note how heavy it is. Water again when it feels light. This will probably be every 3-10 days depending on the temperatures.
