    There are some patches of root burn on the roots, but that may just be from hard water (I get that from time to time on more delicate orchids.) I’ve read, that it could also be from excessive use of fertilizers. Otherwise, as long as the patches don’t progress, or they start to sort of harden off, they are probably just fine. I’d second all MeasomerPi said above as far as repotting if necessary.

    I would also recommend cleaning the leaves! Just make sure not to put any water inside pseudobulbs or crowns! And just on the top not the bottom!

      Why don’t you clean the bottom of the leaves?

      Thanks. I’ll have to do some research. I’ve been slathering both sides of the leaves. And I am stealing and using “something about something”. I have a strong feeling it will come in very handy at the office. đŸ€ž

      She recommends not cleaning the bottoms because that’s where the stomata or ‘breathing apparatus’ of orchid leaves are- and you can clog them inadvertently when you wipe them.

    I tried to look on videos I know she’s said it multiple times but I’ve warched all her videos several times over
 I was going to see if I could narrow it down
 it’s either in orchid care for beginners or when she restores other peoples orchids! I will note when I was the bottom of Ophelia’s leaves it does seem to affect her
 that being said you were part of my Ophelia post and she is my trooper xD
