# New moth orchid is fading on me. I replanted to open pot using orchid…

New moth orchid is fading on me. I replanted to open pot using orchid specific bark charcoal etc  
Had it inside air conditioning and lower leaves yellow shriveled. Move to indirect sun on balcony  
And 2 more leaves gone. Its not happy and Im not sure what to do

Followed 3 ice cube directions. Roots originally looked 90% fine.

Now not sure its going to make it. Im in orlando i thought humidity would be better for it to be outside  
Any suggestions for me?  
Thank you

I think it’s very very stressed, they do like heat, a little water, a balanced orchid diet lol, they like a slightly root bound pot, bark mixture with moss to retain some water

Don’t water with ice cubes; they’re tropical plants. Submerge the roots in lukewarm water every 10 days or so for 5-10 minutes.

It might be stressed because it was repotted while in bloom: it’s best to repot after all the flowers have dropped. Then you can trim the spike back to a node, all the way back or let it dry up on its own.

Have I killed it then? Is it ok on the balcony

#### Laura Bさんが2025-07-10に返信しました

They’re pretty hardy plants, so you haven’t killed it. Just let it settle in for awhile. Put it in a place with as much bright indirect light as possible, water with the instructions above and it should be okay.
