Eeek sounds like rot. It may be too late but I would take it out of its pot and look for any signs of mushiness or black on the roots and cut those off with clean shears. Then repot in fresh potting mix and wait and see.

Thank you for your help I will certainly do that 🙏🏼😊

I agree with the rot diagnosis. Is it an orchid? If so they shouldn’t be watered using ice cubes despite the fact their tags often say to, and make sure you use the correct type of media for them when you repot

### @Vicky’s Plantas 🌱 commented on 2025-06-09

Yes it is an orchid. Ohh okay 👍🏼 thank you ☺️

I would watch orchid care videos on YouTube, they do a good job explaining why they need to be cared for the way they do. Using bark instead of soil, watering based on how the roots look, etc

Ok 👍🏼 Thank you 😁
