Help! My orchid had a terrible root rot problem and I cut off almost every root because it had rot, it was perfectly fine for awhile but now it’s getting sad and has lost a leaf 😢

After losing that much of its root system it is bound to throw off some leaves. Don’t give up on it. Did you treat with hydrogen peroxide for the rot?

Oh no! I didn’t 😭
