I drove three days to get to las Vegas, and on the night i was in New Mexico, i left my phalaenopsis in my truck overnight. I don't know how cold it got, but when i got in the truck around 11AM, the buds (around 10 of them) had all drooped, the leaves had all drooped, and a portion of each stem had drooped as well.
It's been about seven days, the leaves aren't recovering, they're dark green/yellow, and the buds have turned black. I've been
misting the roots a bit, but most of them look dessicated as well. There are still a few green fleshy roots at the very bottom, that were in the contact/buried in the
This orchid has been very good to me, and has bloomed multiple times even under my beginner hands. Right now i have it in the shower room in an east-facing window. I don't have my humidifying tray with me, so
misting, and shower mist will have to do for now.
My question is this, what do i do with the dead parts, and can i recover it from the roots that are still alive? Do i go ahead and pull the leaves and the dead stems, or wait for them to drop on their own? How do i know if the stems are dead? I am assuming that the leaves are unrecoverable.
