# I recently went on a 2 week trip and came back to my orchid slightly…

_Posted by Ahaan on 2024-07-25_

I recently went on a 2 week trip and came back to my orchid slightly wilted. I watered it right before leaving and as soon as I got back home. Is there anything I can do to make it healthy again?

The plant will be fine, the flowers are just spent now, nothing to be done for them

these bloom in late winter/early spring and hold onto the flowers until nowish, could be that your vacation and the natural lifespan of your blooms synced up
