Save my Cymbidium!
Default Save my Cymbidium!

Hi everyone,

I bought two cymbidium seedlings online and they took almost one month to arrive. Upon arrival they seemed a bit weak. I potted both with bark/coconut mix and watered once. They both had two yellow leaves which dropped straight away. After one week, one seedling normalized and the other one kept having more yellow leaves. This happened in just a few days as it only had 4 or 5 leaves in total.

I thought I should remove it from its pot. When I grabbed it, the remaining yellow leaves just fell on my hand and I noticed the "bulb" was very mushy.

I wonder if I can still save this cymbidium as it has one root that might recover, what do you think?

Also, is this fungal disease? They were not watered too much and both got same treatment, only one is dying. Is there a possibility that the orchid was sent to me already sick?
