phal orchids not doing very well need some advice
 
i have two Phal orchids and i had forgotten to water them for a little while a couple weeks maybe 3 and its winter here so my house is currently quite dry. The leaves have wrinkled and gone soft also 1 has stopped producing new growth and the roots were kind of black and dry some i had to cut away the other is shooting out some new roots and small leaves.is there anything else i should do? i tried to post some pics but it says im missing a security token whatever that means.

Water it and put it in a plastic dry cleaner bag for a few days - see if that helps. The humidity and water should perk it back up.

The leaves might still droop, but the wrinkles should disappear. Good luck - you can always buy a new one :)

Agree with the above. Drench them thoroughly with water till it runs through the bottom of the pot for a minute, then bag them up and see what happens after a couple of days.
