Default Orchid adventures at doctors office.

Today I took my mom to her heart specialist, and when we enter the consultation room my heart almost came to a full stop.

They had two very dehydrated orchids on the windowsill, and I guess my expression was such that the doctors assistant immediately said to me "I being trying to look after them but they don't seem to get any better, they are actually about to die and I'm getting ready to put them in the trash", and before I knew what had come out of my mouth I said, if you are getting rid of them I'll take them and try to save them.

So... I'm not very good with phals, unless they are minis, and I will be doing a lot of homework trying to keeps this two recovering and I will be counting on all of the experts here at OB that have successfully restore the health of neglected or overly loved orchid.

So what do you guys think, they need new media, which I think I will change it to what I use for my other orchids. Although I like moss, I don't particularly do well with it.
But because this are so dehydrated, I'm think that putting some moss with the bark will help retain moisture.

But I will know better when I take them out and really take a good look at the roots.
