# This little beauty is Francesca, an orchid we rescued from the side…

_Posted by Casafras on 2025-08-19_

This little beauty is Francesca, an orchid we rescued from the side of the road several years ago, who’s finally coming into her own! Her blooms are finally dropping and I’m not sure how to proceed next… she has never had her pot changed 🫣 I’m open to the ideas I’ve seen about moss and fish line to attach to logs, but I’m unsure how to proceed without hurting her, would love some guidance from a more experienced phal friend 😊

I attached mine to a piece of drift wood, it took quite a while for the shock to wear off but I think she is finally pulling thru, I have a new leaf and I soak the wood and roots for an hour roughly once to twice a week
