# So I need help!! I rescued this mini orchid from Home Depot and it…

_Posted by Anna on 2024-04-18_

So I need help!! I rescued this mini orchid from Home Depot and it had severe root rot. I cleaned it with peroxide and cut all the rot away. Basically the whole root system was rotted, and had spread to the leaves. It is now sitting in water. Any tips would be helpful!!
