I received this zebrina in the mail today. I think it is stunning and healthy, but possibly because of shipping it’s drooping over. Should I maybe use a stick and plant Velcro tape to help it stand up better? I have some sticks from previous orchids.

The stick support won’t hurt and will help the leaves get light for photosynthesis. It should bounce back once hydrated. 🪴🍀
