Would love some help, trying to save GF's orchid
Default Would love some help, trying to save GF's orchid

Greetings,

Not going to lie, I don't know a whole lot about plants. I'm trying to save my girlfriends orchid. Here's the back story:

I gave this to her in April when her dog of 16 years passed on. We call it the "Allie plant" after her dog's name. It was doing well for several months, bur recently it looks like it's taken a turn for the worse. She's really close to the plant and is upset it's not doing well.

A month ago? or so she put some coffee grounds in the pot with it. Don't ask me why. But since then it started to turn south. When we figured it was doing bad re-potted it and of course the roots were soaked. I've just recently learned a lot of water is bad for them. I haven't been the one taking care of the plants but because this one is so close to her and she's not home that much I'm making the effort.

We live in central Texas, and it's hot as hell here (it was 103 today...in Sept). It usually sits outside on the porch (which is south facing) and we have one of those sun screens that block like 80% of the harmful rays or what have you.

I'm willing to do whatever to save it if it's possible. Any help would be appreciated
