Can my orchid be saved?

[VickiC]

Hi Royal!
Thanks....I depend a lot on you coming to my aid.
I read your post at a good time because I was planning to work on my catt in a few mins.

So, let me see if I am understanding what you are saying....are you suggesting that there is most likely nothing wrong with my plant....that the yellow leaves are simply part of the cycle of an older catt....or am I totally on the wrong track? (Sorry, I apparently have more blonde hair than I should.....I don't do well with the "smart person thing" lol)

Something else, I have bark soaking now, but I also have sphag soaking, so I can use either to repot. I've had some luck in the past using sphag to root, but I don't use it with my established orchids, as a general rule. BUT....I'm definitely open for suggestions....what would you use if it was your orchid?
Anyway, thanks again for your reply....as always.
Vicki

Get it nice and snug, keep it on the dry side but humid. I bet you'll do fine.

Oh, and I know how it is with the HD or Lows plants. Keep saving them - it's a good cause.
