Phal looks dehydrated, does not thrive

[james mickelso]

But cutting off the little reserve of water it has would make matters worse. The plant will close it's stoma and conserve what water it can short of it's metabolic needs. Yes the leaves will wrinkle but I have kept many rootless orchids alive by misting or spraying the undersides of the leaves until new roots could grow. I feel that leaving it mounted for now, since it has no roots to absorb water, and drenching it mount and all daily will bring this back.
