This happened to my orchid

Can someone help me figure out.  
I really want to save her

Yes! Put her in water for the week and for the weekend (Fri sat sun) pour the water out you will get roots growing 😍

it was very humid and the bottom fell out! 🥲 does it have a chance yet? Should I put it on water like that?

Oh no!! Maybe it looks like that is just the leaf now, I’ve never propped a orchid with just a leaf but I know it’s possible, looking it up online it looks like you could possibly cut the leaf up and it may grow roots or you could still try the water I wouldn’t submerge the water just leave the water under it till it maybe grows roots! Good luck plant mama!

You could try proping the middle piece that fell out as well

Thank you so much, I’ll see what it best for her! Hope everything would be fine!

I’m sorry. It looks like you have crown rot. It is sadly dead. It happened because some water got in the crown.

Ohhh that makes sense, because yesterday I was watering her, and I notice I put to much water, but then I ran to do something and I kept her like that for maybe 5 min! Omg I killed my orchid 🥺🥲 now I know
