# Do we think I’ll be able to bring this swan orchid back? It was on…

Do we think I’ll be able to bring this swan orchid back? It was on clearance at Kroger  
The stalk was still green and healthy about three nodes up. the roots on the top were fairly dry, but when I pulled it out of the pot, the roots inside seemed to be okay, the soil was very dry. The leaves were a little droopy, only has a little bit of crispiness on the very tips and had some discoloration.  
I let it soak in distilled water for about a minute, cut the stalk just above the first node, and placed it under my grow light near my other plants for now.  
I do plan on repotting it, because it’s in a mixture of soil and orchid bark, and it does seem a little dense. Just need to go to the store first.  
Any other orchid tips to help them grow back? TIA!

I think it will definitely be okay. I always soak dry soil in water just like u did and then put it in alllll orchid park. If there’s any sphagnum moss I recommend removing it and make sure you give it some more frequent waters then you would with a healthy orchid until it has no more wrinkles in the leaves. It will be okay for sure! Good luck!!

Thank you! Yes, I plan on going out and getting some orchid bark, getting rid of all the regular soil that’s around it. There is some orchid bark mixed in with it right now so it’s not too bad but you can definitely tell it’s a bit packed.
