I am a subscriber to the old adage “If there’s green, there’s something to save.” With that in mind, I grabbed this sad Moth Orchid off a clearance shelf a month ago. Cut back all the dead/dying leaves, trimmed off the root rot and put it in a good chunky soil mix in a window sill and waited. Today I noticed a new leaf! Feeling very proud plant mom!
