Charm, I rescued this at our Orchid Society times ago, in a very poor situation, completely infested with fungal diseases. It took me more than three years to get it rid of the diseases and get it back to the healthier condition you see in this photo.

Mauro, It's very encouraging to know that it is possible to resurrect plants when they look as though they're done for! For most of us, I think, it can be a very discouraging prospect! Well done!   |

I totally know what you mean, Shirley! For most of us it is easier to say 'It's done for this one!" and go get another one than trying to cure. I know that sometimes the plant is decided to die, no matter what we try to save it, but I think we should try keeping it alive even when the chances are tiny. After all, an orchid is a living being and deserves our efforts. They fully depend on us when we decide to bring them home. |

Based on this and your other recent posts, I'd say you don't just have a "GREEN thumb," you have an ORCHID thumb!! Wow!
