Hoping for some help

I purchased a macodes petola early fall and all seemed great for a bout 2 months, when I started to notice it looked as though something was eating the leaves. Well I searched and re-potted and found nothing, until I was looking at it one day and I had snails attacking it! They were so small that re-potting them I didn't get the little buggers. So sadly to say my macodes is going downhill very fast! I spoke to the vendor about it, but he said something about it going into rest period (?), I personally think the snails are to blame here. Well my question is I have looked and looked and there really isn't very much that I can find out about this type of jewel. Is there anyone here who knows of any links for macodes petola. I am really not holding out much hope for it, but I would like to try and give it a fighting chance. I finally got all the buggers, but It's down to 1 leaf and I can't even tell what are roots on it anymore..Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks

Hi,
Like most jewel orchids ,it needs high humidity,low light,and warm temps.
Put it in a bag with moist(not wet) sphagnum moss,and it should come back.
You are right,they dont have a resting period.
