Hi guys! I have just (literally twenty minutes ago) found an abandoned orchid outside my local convenience store (BIZARRE I KNOW). The lady behind the counter had no idea how it got there but said I could take it home with me. Anyway, I didn’t take a before photo (in his pot) but to cut a long story short (I apologise) his three stems were dead to the core so I picked them off) and his root system was all over the place. This is the before, and after. I can see however new green growth. Is it possible the flower stems can grow back? I only have one other orchid, and am not a seasoned pro by ANY means. Would be grateful for any tips. He has fresh orchid potting mix and I have washed him in orchid growth liquid and water. Just for reference he was absolutely bone dry outside the shop.

    Looks like a little dehydrate but other fine phal to me. I don’t see why it couldn’t rebloom. Might be set back so could take a couple of years. Sounds like you’ve don’t what you needed to give it a chance. Good luck!

    Great work :) I would add some sphagnum moss, (I do layered mix for my phals and other orchids), but looks very well done to me.

    Give the roots a peroxide (80%) & water (30%) bath before planting. I use orchid bark and a grow light 12 on 12 off and have had wonderful success. After about a month or 2, give it a garlic drink!
