My poor orchid is struggling! I love the color and I want to save it! I lost another leave today! What do I do? I just watered it and I also checked the roots and repotted it recently. Help!!

Do you have some rot in the center of the crowd there? If so, I have some bad news. It’s very difficult, possibly impossible to come back from crown rot.

How do I know if it is rot or dirt?

Does it seem like vegetative growth, like a leaf with some substance that is now starting to rot, or particles of dirt, that you could easily brush out?
