Have no clue why my orchid is doing this. It was growing very very well and all of a sudden the bulbs are turning yellow and dying. What do I do?

    Looks like underwatering. Both roots and leaves are shriveled

      I watered it two days ago. I submerge it into a little pot of water so the roots are almost completely underwater. I let it sit for 20 minutes then i pull it out. I feel like medium isn’t retaining water like it should

      Any time ALL the roots get silvery it needs water. When they are still green, the roots are hydrated. You need to increase watering. I personally have only 1 orchid in a pot because it’s in my office under a grow light. The rest are outside attached to trees and I have to water them a few times a day because they aren’t in any media and I live in South Florida so it’s HOT.
