Hi everyone. My first time posting here. I bought this cymbidium last year. They were full of leaves and produce new plants. But they look very bad. I need ded to repot them twice due to roting root. I reduce considerably the watering but still they look not great. Any advice pls.

They may need a more breathable pot. Terra cotta can be a pain. It's ideally supposed to pull moisture, but if your house is humid like mine, it stays moist longer. Especially if they've gotten root rot a few times, it sounds like they are staying too moist. And leading to rot and drooping.

Thank you Wolfen, I may do some holes on the pots. I have still some hopes. I have new plant coming out.
