very nice color and form....you got a keeper.
the new leaf is shriveling so you need to hydrate the plant and boost moisture....maybe it was underwatered from being kept too long on the store shelves....otherwise it is a steal for $10

That is my absolute favorite color combination. I will keep looking for it on at a bargain price until I find it. Well done!

Really pretty, love the colours.

The roots look pretty dry in the pot so I would agree with bud about giving it a good water to keep the new leaves hydrated.

Beautiful!

I just repotted it with new bark, thats why it looked dry. I just got done watering it a little bit ago after repotting it.

The roots were mostly alive. The tips on some were rotted/swiveled up and a couple large sections of roots were dead/rotting.

I think it was dried out way too much, then over watered while it was in the stores. As some of the roots were swiveled up and dying while some others were (what looked to be) rot. Or it could have just been the dead dried up roots rotting from moisture.


I love this orchid :D It was the only one that color there :)

It looks good :)

Very pretty find! You could mist under the leaves to try and hydrate it some more while it settles into the new medium and a light fertilizer water.
