This orchid died almost a year ago. Is there any hope of it coming back?

unfortunately, that one looks long past the stage of revival. “Orchids are beautiful flowers that bloom in cycles. Just because the flowers have fallen off doesn't mean that the orchid is dead—it's simply in a dormant phase and will likely flower again. You can encourage blooming by pruning and repotting an orchid. Be sure to provide the right amount of water and light, as well.” - got this information from wiki but i believe that’s only when the plant is still alive, usually the stocks would be green. “Dormancy in orchids may last anywhere from six to nine months. An orchid that becomes dormant may look all green and healthy sans the flowers.” - orchidrepublic.com- i don’t think that plant has any chance of producing any more flowers. i encourage doing a little research to see if there’s anything you can do to revive it!

i’ve read if there aren’t any leaves, it’s bad news. with that being said, i have also brought three orchids back to life (they were very neglected). if you have any healthy roots, you can try cutting back everything unhealthy and try to get some growth. definitely cut those stems off!

to bring mine back, i used one of repot me’s orchid potting mixes + their fertilizer based on the reviews and it was shocking how fast they started to improve!

another general tip for orchids i’ve read (and done): after the blooms are gone, cut the stem back as much as you can. the plant will spit out a new stem and produce bigger blooms next time

if you try, good luck!!
