Flowering isn’t actually a sign of health with orchids so don’t let them deceive you. I recommend getting it out of that pot and out of the soil. Put it in an orchid pot (the ones with holes all over) with sphagnum moss - no soil!

When you take it out remove any roots that are shriveled or mushy. It will take time but it \*should\* bounce back. Mine was neglected in a neighbors north facing kitchen window for YEARS before it came to me and she thrives now

In the wild orchids like this one don’t grow in soil, they are epiphytes meaning they grow in nooks and crannies of trees and other plants etc

Hmmmm ok what do you think it could be tho

It’s the soil. Rotting the roots
