Rehabbing an over-watered Zygo &quot;Jumpin' Jack&quot;
Default Rehabbing an over-watered Zygo "Jumpin' Jack"

I've had this for 1.5 years, and in my enthusiasm this fall, I'm pretty sure I've overwatered. I have yellowing leaves but green/unwrinkled pseudobulbs (4). Will prob lose all but 1-2 leaves, sigh.

Questions: in terms of recovery, should I put it under a grow light? Or let it have a winter rest, cut back on watering, and wait for growth in the spring? It's due for a repot, but should that wait a year due to recovery?

Thanks -

Are you sure you don't have spider mites? These are very susceptible to mites indoors. You could also ease it out of the pot to check the roots, then report back.

A picture might help in this case. What temperatures do you give this orchid? I kept my Jumping Jacks (2) inside our air-conditioned home, along with the other Zygos this past summer. I have found from past experience that the hot weather (upper eighties, nineties 'F) can make these suffer. I also find that the leaves are prone to fungus issues so I try to keep the water off of the leaves when I water.

I just checked my own Jumping Jacks and both have new growth so they put out new growth more than once a year. This means that if you give them the proper care now, they can definitely be saved.
