Phal NoID with no leaves, are the roots dead?
My orchid that bloomed every 2-3 months for nearly 2 full years went dormant so I gave it a rest. I went to check on it and the leaves had all fallen off and I realized it was too wet - someone (my well meaning husband) watered it daily without telling me, when it was thriving on being listed daily (just on the air roots) and a little water every week or two. So it was all soggy and gross. I drained the standing water out... it was in a draining plastic pot, placed inside a clay pot for looks - I had been emptying the standing water from the clay pot immediately after watering, but my husband didn't realize and it was sitting in water for weeks. Is it a goner? Should I throw it away and stop mourning over it? Or is there something I should try?
