Sometimes in life, you have to start over, but you may need a little help to get there. My little orchid friend here lost all his roots (oops, my bad) and finally has some new ones budding. I'm letting him get a nice long drink before I put him back in a dome for humidity. With a little love and time, he should recover. (This is also the best bargain orchid I've ever found. Mottled leaves and he was only $3 in a clearance shelf)
