My first and only mini orchid died last week a month afyer its bloom stalks were cut back. The leaves were still vibrant and green but the roots said to hell with you, im out ✌️ - I see you 🫂
1 j'aimeSounds like my orchid when it was over watered. I cut everything including bad roots and I am rehabbing it now.
1 j'aimeI rescued it and the soil was bone dry and the roots were hard but some had root rot.
1 j'aimeWhat’s type of soil? That could be the issue? Maybe?
1 j'aimeIt was well draining soil when I got it
1 j'aimeAhhhh gotcha. What type of soil are you using?
1 j'aimeIt is dry mulch because I don’t have an orchid mix
1 j'aimeI water by taking the plant out and soaking the roots for a few minutes
1 j'aimeIt happens. I currently have three in root loss rehab. My dendrobium anosmum even jumped out of its pot to let me know it needed help
