Thank you for this thread. I recently got a orchid from my son. As I didn't see a problem with the leaves when I got it from the store it was in a huge pot with packed moss. This incouraged me to take a look. As I started to dig it was nearly all moss. No roots at all until I got into the second layer as if it had been repotted without taking the moss out of the first. It was like someone took it out of the first pot placed it in a pot and added more moss. This would have died if I wasn't reading this thread. It is not missing any leaves but has very little roots. It is currently drying out to transplant tomorrow. So a big thanks. I hope it will do great. Hope it does not loose the flowers as they are so pretty.
