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

_Publié par Leafeon le 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.

Talking bout the stem? then yeah cut it all the way back

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

Roots are everything to orchids.
