It's some sort of a plastic pot - I've been weighing the pot at any rate in addition to use the skewers so I should be able to tell when it's getting lighter.

When I water how long should I leave...

Well I'm not really sure if it's mold. It's white and fuzzy like in the photos. I do think it has been deteriorating a lot slower than other orchids I've had with rot. I will try running it under...

Thank you for all the advice! We don't go to the second floor for most of the day so it's probably mostly still air without the little fan. Hopefully it hangs in there.

I think it was in the same condition for about 2 weeks? I think that was around the last time I posted. I suppose in the scheme of things that's not all that long.

Do you recommend taking the plant out of the medium to check the roots? I don't think there were many good roots in the medium - they were all dark but not squishy when i last repotted a couple...

The only reason I am learning about orchids is to save this plant. There is no reason to start over if I throw it out - which I would never do. Also I have 6 other orchids that are doing fine.

Sigh. The browning area has doubled since this morning. Orchids deteriorate so quickly.

Where would I get an automatic mister? I don't mind misting manually except for if I have to leave again.

Okay, thank you. Is there no way to get it to grow new leaves? Maybe if it had new leaves that weren't wrinkly it wouldn't be as stressed.
