really sick doritaenopsis queen beer

[dendro king]

my dtps queen beer is not doing well at all! all its roots are bad and it keeps bruising/rotting on the side of the oldest leaves. it has two leaves and i put it in a pot inside a clear plastic propagator. has this happened to anyone before? if you can please tell me how to save it i would really appreciate it!

Good luck!

First cut off all dead roots/leaves. Are the roots rotting? If they are this sounds like a bacterial/fungal infection. Let the (bare root) plant dry out by a bright window (not direct light) Then put the plant back in the propagator, just make sure its not to wet. Keep the plant bare root so you can monitor growth.
Good luck!!

today it got knocked ocer and all the leaves and the grown smaped so now i am left with a leafless plant with a new root emerging and two nodes on the side where it would of flowered if it werent in such bad shape. but i was on the internet today and found this on a forum that had this as an experiment! YAY!! and the result was a pup/new plant from the base of the old plant. so hopefully i wont have to buy another and i will save it!

I the roots are good, you'll should get a kieki. Poor plant can't catch a break. LOL!

[dendro king]
