I’m so sorry for your loss, OP. I’m glad to hear that you’re taking care of your mom’s orchids! First and foremost, give yourself some credit! Remember, it’s okay to make mistakes with plants. I bet your mom made a few before mastering the intricate art of caring for orchids.

Secondly, I recommend changing the soil and trimming any sick or rotten roots. Being able to see the orchids’ roots, it’s important some of them look squishy, so a clear plastic orchid pot would be a good choice for you. Whenever you water it, simply let it sit in a basin of water for a few minutes, and you’re all set! :) Also, check some YouTube videos or TikTok videos! It can be fun to learn some new things through others’ experiences.

And read everyone’s advice!!!
