Should I unmount this sad phal? Female
Default Should I unmount this sad phal?

I recently got this little phalaenopsis malipoense as a pre-order which I picked up at my local orchid society meeting. The poor little guy came to me all the way from China.

The leaves are very limp, though the roots look good. I know they look kind of dessicated but it appears to me that it's just the shape of the roots.

I've been spraying it multiple times daily but the leaves seem the same.

Should I unmount it and put it in a pot with some water-retentive media until it gets back on its feet, or would that just stress it further? I really don't want to lose this one.

I have some other mounted mini orchids and they seem to do ok in my environment.

all advice appreciated
