phalaenopsis?
I have one and what works well is:
Remove from pot and remove all the existing substrate, wash off any bits of bark stuck to the roots etc
Using something sterilized and very sharp, remove any dead brown roots and stems
Repot it using fresh orchid bark substrate, into an orchid pot that lets the roots get some light, can be cheap plastic or glass or something with holes in
After an initial light watering from above, water it only by letting it soak from below for a few hours
Give it a bit of a feed using orchid myst
lemonade
One of my orchids is close to death. All the leaves fell off over winter although it has a single green stem. I think it was a bit too cold and a bit too dry over the last few months. Any tips for revival?
I don't know what the type is called but the typical sort you see a lot for gifts.
