My father in law has this and says it is an orchid? Can anyone help me ID it and let me know if there is anything I can do to save it? Thank you so much for any help!

It does not look like an orchid, it looks like an aloe vera plant. It’s got a couple of new shoots, so it is probably not beyond saving. It probably needs re-potting at some point, because I don’t know what kind of dirt that is. To start with, though I would cut off the dead parts and give it a good watering.

I can handle that! Thank you so much for the tips.

That’s an aloe 🤣 I’d trim away the bottom pieces that aren’t green anymore

#### Tanya antwortete am 2024-05-12

I did. I’m hoping for the best.

Pot looks like it might be too big!

#### Tanya antwortete am 2024-05-12

I repotted it in a smaller pot and get the dead leaves all trimmed off. I’m hoping for the best!

Oh she’s going to do great! I just know it 🥰💕
