Can leaves recover from "droopyness"?

[Undergrounder]

I recently got my first orchid (phal) and after 3-4 days the leaves started to droop. I don't know what I did wrong but for now I moved it away from the window.

I watered it once before I knew that you shouldn't let water sit in the crown. I used the shower hose and let water run through it until the media was completely soaked. I then let the water drain through the holes of the plastic pot and I put it back in its decorative pot.

How sensitive is the plant? If I let water remain in the crown once would it take any damage? Is it possible for the leaves to perk up back to their initial states if I take good care of the plant?

Also, even though the leaves started to droop one of its buds are starting to bloom. Could the blooming bud be responsible for the droopy leaves?

The roots actually look a little dry, I would water it now and every time the pot looks dry like that. When the condensation has gone and the roots look silvery and whitish green, it's time to water. Water it more often and the leaves should perk back up a little.

Also you mentioned you moved it away from the window? I would move it back now, it will appreciate as much light as it can get, especially living in Sweden.

And as for the water in the crown, it can sit in the crown for a number of hours without any real problem at all. It's only a problem if you let it sit there for 6 - 24 hours, after which mold spores in the water have time to germinate and infect the plant. If you do drench it under the shower, just be sure it dries out in a few hours, or dab the excess water out with a tissue.

I would mist the top of the roots. Your conditions are most likely drier than a tropical jungle. The medium may be moist inside the pot but dry on top. I mist the roots outside or on top of the medium daily.
