Not sure if this is savable Maybe it's the end of the cycle not sure if they supposed to last more than one summer but if it can be saved, I would love to know how Should I pull it out to check the roots? They were once beautiful and now they slowly dying😢 I don’t know generally enough about the pot it in doesn’t have drainage holes I’m sure that’s not helping . Please help🤍🩷
the blooms don’t last forever — but they’ll come back next year in the spring
1 me gusta I’ve seen orchids do really well in glass — you might want to water a bit less, or drain out any excess a bit better to prevent rot — but overall this looks fine to me. i’d get the substrate off of the leaves though and clip off the spent flower spikes the shape of this container, rather than the fact that it’s glass, might make maintenance tricky though 🤔

How long have you had your phal? I agree with Eatyacarbs. Orchid blooms are long lived but not eternal. Three months is about the average lifespan for the flowers. Treat you plant well and it will reward you with more flowers next year. Most of mine start pushing out new spikes in December and January but that’s not set in stone. Just last weekend I found a surprise spike forming on one of them. I’m not a fan of keeping orchids in pots without drainage. They like a lot of airflow around the roots. I am also a little concerned the vase might be creating a microclimate that isn’t ideal for your plant. If you are looking for more information on orchid care, there are several sources on YouTube. Miss Orchid Girl is a great place to start. She has a ton of videos on phal general care, repotting and troubleshooting. Good luck!
