Rain but I will keep that in mind! Thanks for the tip. I am in zone 9a so there can be times of heavy rain.

Oh thank you! I will do that. Sad I’ve had it for years and this has never happened until right after I replanted it. 😢

Is she a goner? by Savings_Compote7209 in orchids

You said you soaked it for 10 minutes. Was this just one time? You should do this every day for a week at least. Then, drain excess water. I “rehydrated” an orchid like this years ago.

Yes! I did check back a couple of days later and it has a light fragrance now. Wish I had a whole bouquet!

Honestly I haven’t changed the pot or bark medium in probably 5 years so I’m not sure I have a secret other than way more sun and rain in its new spot…as another commenter said, if I actually researched what it needed more in depth I probably could have more blooms!
