# I just got this orchid from my uncles girlfriend and I was wondering…

_Gepostet von Leafeon am 2025-03-19_

I just got this orchid from my uncles girlfriend and I was wondering if all I have to do is cut the stems back to a node and to see if that helps , Also I have not checked for root rot yet if I need to.

Cut the dead stems back so the plant can put forth energy to the rest of the plant better.

Roots are everything to orchids.
