Don’t give up! We have had this orchid for about 3 years. It was not in the best shape when we got it and it has not done anything since. We continued to care for it for years AND there’s a new leaf growing! I couldn’t believe it! I had to stare at it for 10 minutes convincing myself it was really happening. So happy we did not give up!

Note- she needs a little dusting 🙃
