# I gave an orchid to a friend, looked like she killed it so I took it…

_Publié par T le 2024-06-22_

I gave an orchid to a friend, looked like she killed it so I took it home to double check. I honestly thought it was dead too. Then magically a bit of green came out of the pot a few months ago, followed by this interesting winding stem to get to the light. First bloom today!

That’s awesome!! I know how it feels, I went on a trip and forgot to water my fern and it looked completely dead but I found a very small leaf and nursed it back to health, now my fern is thriving! :)

Why doesn’t my orchid grow a new stem 🥺

#### T ha respondido el 2024-06-22

Love your handle. I bet it will grow once you ignore it hehe

You are prob right. I may be micromanaging some that want to be left alone and then others that need micromanaging are suffering. I just can’t catch a break 😮‍💨
