# Orchid in distress!!!! I noticed today that my orchid leaves are…

_Geplaatst door Jenna op 2025-03-22_

Orchid in distress!!!! I noticed today that my orchid leaves are cracking at the base and I can’t figure out why. I pulled her out of the pot and some roots that were sticking out are shriveled and dry but some of the ones that were in the pot seem close to root rot (but they don’t smell). I follow misting and watering advice for her pretty well. Planta says overwatering or a light issue but my understanding was orchids crack from under watering and she’s not burned so I am confused. The top leaf is only two-ish months old so I thought she was happy. How can I help her??
