I'm trying to revive my poor dying orchid! The leaves look okay, but the flowers are all drooping and falling off and the roots are superdry!
Usually orchids fall victim to overwatering and root rot, so we were trying to be super careful but now I think the roots have dried out, given the high temperatures here.
It's a beautiful Oncidium, or "Dancing Lady" orchid.
The flowers looked like this
See how the flower looks like a lady's dress? It even has puffy sleeves/shoulders, a head and a bonnet!
I hope I can bring it back to life. I soaked the roots for about 5 minutes then I replanted it into the ventilated plastic container it came with, with the rest of the dry bark.
