# My orchid! 😭 I received this as a gift, and don’t know much about…

My orchid! 😭 I received this as a gift, and don’t know much about orchid care. I read when the first of the flowers started to wilt, and saw that it’s normal for it to lose its flowers/that there’s a blooming period and a dormant period. Does that looks like what’s happening here? I also read that I should repot, so I ordered supplies and they are on the way!
