# A coworker of mine recently found a new job and left this orchid…

_Postat av Tay🧚🏽 den 2024-10-01_

A coworker of mine recently found a new job and left this orchid behind. I’m pretty sure it was just stuck inside an office without sunlight or proper care. I’ve never owned an orchid before so I have no idea what I’m doing with her. Any and all tips/suggestions are welcome please! 😭

i’m no orchid expert but those roots look really good so that’s definitely a plus!! and the leaves look nice so i don’t think it’s in too bad of shape!

That’s what I was thinking too 🥹

It looks really healthy

This looks super healthy! If you ask for advice on the Orchid Oasis group, I’m sure you’ll get a lot more care tips.

I will definitely do that! Thank you 🫶🏽

Never water with ice cubes!!

Water with lukewarm water when the roots look a bit grayish.😊

I did hear about the ice cube thing! Nice to know I shouldn’t do that. Thank you!
