Here we are in 2014 and last year this time I was watching my orchids take off and had a sweet little fern that was doing well.
This year, perhaps I overwatered, but no orchids at this point, and unlikely at all. There are no leaves, all gone. And the roots above, all dried up and were brown. Just pitiful.
I took the root ball and aired it out a bit and cut one of the roots and placed in a second container and then repotted the remainder. I tried to allow for air and used a mixture of moss/perlite and the original pellets. The roots below were white and some greenish, but a little soggy. I gave a tiny bit of orchid food and no extra water or ice at this point. Now we wait. Hopefully I did it right, orchids are finicky.
