Rejuvenating stressed Orchids Part 2 - Buried stem and stem rot
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 сер 2016
- In part 2 we are looking at some more stressed orchids and also a proper sick one as it would seem. If you missed part 1 check it out here • Rejuvenating stressed ...
▼▼▼More info bellow!▼▼▼
Following the example of the first part, we discover some more dehydrated orchids with some surprises.
On eorchid has multiple nodules that stopped growing due to their position in the medium, which was too deep. They are white as they were unable to photosynthesize.
One orchid has stem rot sadly and this is a bit hard to treat, but not impossible. It needs to stay higher up in the pot and also be very ventilated.
As an update on my crown rot orchid, she is producing what I hope is a basal keiki, in any case the infection seems to have stopped and the orchid is not looking like it's dyeing.

After watching numerous videos on orchid care, I've established that yours are my favorite. You clearly communicate specific information which teaches me all about these beautiful plants. I will continue to refer to your videos often, so that I may care for my orchids in the best way. Thank you for your expertise!
+gforce Glad you find my videos are useful :D
I feel the same way. U turned me from orchid disliker to owning 4 of my own...3 are saved from friends that were neglected

Agree 💯
It would be great to see the before and after update may be monthly so we can see your orchids progress, after treatment, thank you for your videos they have answered so many of my questions, congradulations
My friend gave me my first orchard for a gift a couple of weeks ago. She told me to put three ice cubes in it every Sunday.
. The outside roots started drying out turning gray and brown. I checked out your videos and was amazed on how you are suppose to take care of orchards. I soaked it in warm water for a few minutes, I could see the different in the roots in a very short time. Thank you for the awesome videos. Ill be watching them all.
+June Abramson Hi, glad my videos help :D feel free to ask anything anytime!
I recently watched your video, and it might just have saved the life of an orchid that I bought just today. When I got it home and looked it really closely, I saw that some of the surface roots looked very dried up. So I unpotted it, removed all of the potting medium (decayed bark), and discovered that 2/3 of the roots were dead. I’ve just spent 20 minutes trimming all of the dead root material. Then I discovered on the underside of one of the bottom leaves, a cottony-looking material. So I cleaned that up, sprayed hydrogen peroxide all over everything, and repotted with fresh orchid medium. I’ll be watching this one like a hawk. I hope it makes it, it’s so pretty - three flower sprays. Thanks for the tips!!
You saved my orchid! When I first purchased it, I had it re-potted at the garden center, and the person left the poor thing in its plastic bag and put filling around it! Makes sense why I couldn't see the roots! Thank you!!
I have two orchids that are not doing well, but you helped me so much with all your info. They are my first ones so I have been feeling terrible that they look sick. I'm hoping they bounce back, but your encouragement that they help us learn helped. Thank you so much!
I have always loved your videos. You take so much of your time to help orchids . Your videos have helped so many of us. Thank you so much for devoting so much of your time to help all your fellow orchid lovers.
Hi Tina, thanks I'm glad you enjoy my videos :D my pleasure if I help in any way ;)
This is great! I'm new to orchids - I usually jump hard and fast into new hobbies (💸) but your videos are helping me to take it slow, learn, and assess my situation before coming home with a dozen pretty looking orchids. Hoping to slowly add to my collection, finding strong plants and figuring out the best way to set them up for success in my environment. Cheers 🤗
Hi Reiko, I'm happy that my videos inspire you :D this is actually a lesson I learned too with them, patience is needed with orchids but the rewards are awesome :D it's why I love this hobby, things never happen over night but take energy and devotion from you. Makes you feel really accomplished when an orchid does well after a lot of time of maybe being sick :)
I had 11 orchids and 4 of them have no hope😢.. it is very stressful taking care of them because I am watching all of your videos trying to get this right but I still feel like Im missing something 😩 I really want to revive these beautiful plants. Thank you for taking the time to show and explain them.. they really are high maintenance 😅
You give us such good information & instruction. I just purchased repotting medium and have repotted one of my very stressed orchids.
Any chance to have an update on these orchids? Thanks for sharing all this knowledge!
Well I purchased an orchid from WF. It was a mini phal. As soon as the flowers fell I decided to repot the orchid. Well what a mess. The grower had packed sphagnum moss which was very wet. The plant basically had no roots and there was stem rot. So knowing that there was not much chance of it living I tried spraying with peroxide 3 %. I set the plant over a small glass of water. I sprayed the leafs with water since they were dehydrated do to no root system. Today I used a Q tip in peroxide and scrubbed the stem and small black root bumps with the peroxide. This took off a lot of the black sheath. It looked better. I then put a very small amount of cinnamon on just the stem avoiding the newly growing roots. I dried the stem and spayed just the leafs. I then placed the plant back into a clean glass with clean water. We will see. Wish me luck. Will let you know if this works. Lela
Thank you...I'm learning a lot since I started watching your videos.
Another great video Danny! I have a Phal that doesn't look very healthy (llmp leaves etc.) but after watching it hope all is not lost and that I can rescue it. By comparison I bought one where the ceramic outside pot had broken for half price. This one is the healthiest of them all. 😊
Thank you so so much. Now I can take better care of my orchids and save them😉😊
Good information and advice. Thanks.
so glad I ave you videos.:~)).
I rescued 2 phallies and 1 dendrobium from a box store. My first and I replayed your video.
Helped me to repot and what to expect. You are a great teacher.
Hi, great to hear and thanks for sharing with me :D always glad to help ;)
Your videos are awesome and very informative. Definitive source for orchid care.
I love your video very clear and good thanks
Is there like a video showing the orchids after have been taking care of?
Thought of it too
Thank you!!! Got the repost and my orchid is a happy baby Ferbie! She is growing fast too
Thank you! Your videos are great!
I will give you an update next week or so in my sick girls 😊
Thank you for all of the information.
Thanks very much, very helpful
Thank you for your excellent videos
Very informative!
Very nice videos (both part 1 and 2). Many phals can be helped back to health. It's such a pity many end up in the trash.
Indeed, some stores don't have the discount policy they just throw them away so they don't encourage people to buy discounted orchids. That's silly IMO but what can you do :(
MissOrchidGirl I have a couple of times saved orchids from going to the trash. I told a local flower shop to tell me if they had sometimes orchids going to the trash, that I could come and take them. Then once I got an email from them asking me to come and see. They had a beautiful den. nobile cross still in bloom, going to the trash because the first blooms are already drying and no one would buy it. I got that and 3 large phals still in bloom, because their smaller buds had blasted. They still bloomed for me for some months, so I was so happy for taking them home. But they are so big with huge leaves, so I decided not to save anymore plants from stores, otherwise I would end up with a "phal sanctuary" with no space for anything else. 😂
hahaha I know the feeling, I sued to get a lot of sick ones as well :P
+Orchids & a Dutchy if I see orchids at stores or greenhouses in full bloom I'll check again in a month or so and one place by where I live sells them for a buck a piece once the flowers are weak enough that people don't buy them :) this store knows how to handle them too so they are usually healthy
Gavlick Apthesycerski That sounds like a great deal. Unfortunately most places here throw them away when they are done blooming.
Hi. Are there updates on this video? Would love to see if they bounced back. Cheers.
Wonderful
I guess this orchid girl doesn’t reply to comments on her videos?
Thank you for your information about the orçhid care
@@pofrani maybe she has root rot? Lol.
Very informative. Thank you.
The baby plant is an exact clone of the mother plant, sometimes flowering while still attached to the mother. The word keiki is Hawaiian for "baby" or "child", literally "the little one". On a Phalaenopsis, a keiki is a small plant growing from one node along the flower stem.
thank you I was googling the word and couldn't find anything
Hey Danny! I have a discussion I want to discuss about with you. when I repot my orchids, when cleaning them for the fresh medium I always do one thing - I remove old leafs and pseudobulbs from the orchids, even tho they are not dried or dead. the reason I do it - well it's simple - I want my orchids to look tidier and to elliminate all possible entries for fungus desieses, that may be present in burried old pseudobulbs and leafs, who tend to rot from the humidity, so I always do it. But what excatly do I remove? from oncidium-type orchids I remove those old pesky little pseudobulb remains, that were present since when the orchid was a seedling. I remove them so my orchid would look tidier, and I would be able to plant it on the top, by avoiding burrying old pesky pseudobulbs in the medium, cause I see this odd patern on all my oncidiums - the rhizome axis is not like 180' right on top of the medium, its more like 30' dagrees tilted to the top, and while growing, for me they seem to kinda grow up, towards more air. Please let me know if you do the same thing I do with my oncidiums, and please tell me if your oncidiums also tend to grow upwards in 30' dagree angle from the top of the medium towards the air. thank you. As for Phals, when repotting I remove all pesky small leaves also, like on your first phal in this video - there was few big good leaves and that one pesky small leaf, that was bad looking and flopping next to the roots. I always remove those pesky small leaves, so phal would look tidier, and when potting up, I wouldn't burry that pesky leaf inside the medium and creating conditions for it to just rot from the base and create perfect conditions for fungus desiese and stem rot. And always, when I create wounds from cutting down old pesky leaves and psbulbs, I always put some cinnamon on the wounds, so the wounds do not rot. So please, let me know, do you do the same things to your orchids while repotting? Please, let me know, maybe you could even make a video about it, who knows. Thank you Danny for all the great information you are providing to us :)
:))) I do the same thing for Oncidiums or Catts or sympodials in general, when I moved out I showed in a video what I cut away, it's here I think ua-cam.com/video/zdfibO5bxx0/v-deo.html :P with Phals I don't cut the leaves, just let them fall naturally. I tend to think monopodials are a bit dangerous when it comes to open wounds. If a sympodial gets an infection it's easy, you cut the section of the plant off and you're done. With monopodials it's not like that, you need to treat the entire orchid for one little infection and I'd rather not do that, especially when it comes to leaves and stem issues (which as I was saying I dislike more than crown rot). If you can make sure to seal the wound properly all is ok, I am not trusting myself enough to cut the bottom leaves and be on my way. When I least expect I know I'll get a stem infection ;)
I have the problems of whiter cotton like fungus in all of my orchid media surface.. also the aerial roots being very dry and dehydrated. I can see many roots get truely dry, dehydrated and fully vanished through the transparent plastic pots... I watered them regularly in the same way you showed in your video. We live in Hamburg, Germany. Now it’s winter time. The temp of outside mostly below -1 but inside the home it is almost in between 12-17dregree Celsius. Could you please give me any suggestions to save my orchids?
thank you so very much for all the info
I love your video, it help a lot. Many thanks
every educational your videos. thank you.
Thank you Dani this came just on time I had one that needed repotting and had lost it's leaves and I did just as you suggested. Your videos are very, very helpful.
Glad to help Hilda :D
; )
hi danny, your videos are really very informative. I am from Bangladesh, thanks a lot.
I moved from the UK to southern Spain. We drove to our new home, we purchased a large van as I took lots of my garden plants, plants in pots and all my Orchids, about 25. My garden plants and potted plants survived, except one - an acer. However, not all my orchids survived especially the mini ones and one that was quite expensive that I had bought from an orchid exhibition, I was so upset, but I didn’t know what to do and had not found you on UA-cam! Some had keikis which dried up when I tried to pot them, even though I tried so hard to keep them moist, but now with your excellent videos and advice maybe I could have done something, but I will never know.
However, from now on your advice is invaluable and since subscribing I have all your daily videos.
I only have 6 left that I am trying to keep alive. I am not sure if it is the lack of humidity that is affecting them? or that I have lost my touch, I hope not.
Thank you, very informative
I love your videos. Thank you so much!
Glad you liked the video :D
These plants are by far the most difficult to care for. They are so picky. Had mine for over a year and already repotted twice with no luck for flowering.
Do you have updates for these "stressed Orchids Part 1 & 2"? Can you post the video links?How long should it take for shriveled phal leaves to plump out?
I am so happy to have found your channel. I have only two Phal's and one Cattleya. I have had the Cattleya for 6 years now, and its not blooming. I don't know what to do with her. She has grown and is very large.
How often n should you repot an orchard. I got.a beautiful orchard for my birthday last March. 9t bloomed for a long time. After last flower was done blooming, I snipped off at last flower bloomed. It is now December and c waiting for it to bloom. Hopefully it will as I love it.
Very helpful info. Thanks
Hopefully they'll recover nicely. Seeing as they're the hybridized phals gives them a more higher rate of survival
Indeed, there's nothing like a Phal when it comes to survival :P
Excellent videos! Thank you!
Thank you. It’s good video!!
Your video is very informative and you seem to have a lot of experience growing & taking care of orchids. Thank you very much! That said, some parts of the video is out of focus at the subject plant roots. Thus the details of the plant roots are not clear.
Thank you very much for this....I rescued an orchid from work, it's barely alive but I keep babying it..... :-) this taught me a lot! I have 3 stem keiki but almost no roots, and very leathery limp leaves :-( but it's stayed alive two months now! Thanks again!
Hi Ed, the keikis should produce roots and they will feed the mother plant too. Hope she manages to grow them until then :)
Thanks for all these videos, so helpful!!! I was gifted a beautiful orchid that I suspect was overwatered in whatever store it came from, plus it was crammed in a tiny pot with zero ventilation (which was bad combined with tightly packed and moldy sphagnum moss.) When I pulled it out to inspect the roots, there was a bunch of root rot. I had to trim off a lot of mushy and moldy roots. I definitely stressed it (for the better in the long run)--it's leaves are drooping slightly. Any suggestions of how I can help keep it hydrated and reduce the stress it's feeling? Or should I anticipate that it will stay a little droopy until it builds up its root system and adapts to the new media?
Thank you so much these videos are so much more helpful than everything I've read online years ago, now I actually see what you're talking about. Orchids are my favorite plant, also because they're the only ones that have ever survived my home. I forget to water plants. 😣 I know it's bad. I've got a question, I have a keki that I got off a plant that died many years ago. The keki is alive, in it's own pot, it's survived all these years but it never grew particularly. It's still small and it's never had more than 2 leaves, the moment a 3rd leave comes one leave dries out (dies). It's also never had any flowers. What am I doing wrong? Apart from the fact that I do know I'm not good at watering and I haven't repotted, it's been in the same medium for years...
Thanks for your expertise on orchards. How do I get my orchards to rebloom faster?
Hi, Phalaenopsis rebloom (on new spikes) once a year, it's important not to over stimulate blooming, so that orchids can have time to grow 😊
When they recover, do the leaves prop up again or are those leaves permanently downward now??
Good question, was wondering the same
Love ya mrs orchid girl! Thanks for the information and vote of confidence. 🥰🙏🏻🌸
I noticed this morning my orchid, which usually very happy, her leaves are limp. I just watered her. (Water on Monday’s). I used rain water... hope that’s not the issue. I have her fertilizer last week... Do you think she’s dehydrated? Or should I switch out the medium? I changed it when I brought her home in May (2020)...
I am trying to rejuvenate my neighbor's orchid. The flower stem grew another plant about a foot higher than the orchid. The base of the flower stem does not look good at all soggy mushy, but then it goes into a nice.What am I supposed to do with that? Do I make another plant with it or do I try and resurrect it with it there? Thank you.
In an introductory video of yours form 3 years ago, you state you prefer to use clear plastic pots, and bark as a potting medium, but here you're using clay pots (which you said you don't like because the roots cling to the pot) and a potting medium I don't recognise... Could you help me and clarify, please...? Many thanks! Incidentally, I am an avid but amateur keeper of phalaenopses, but your videos are amazingly encouraging and helpful!
I buy orchids from IKEA( LIKE YOU IN THE OPPORTUNITY SECTION FOR 4-5 EURO TO SAVE THEM),SO THESE 2 VIDEO ARE REALLY GREAT.The Hydrogen Peroxide one buys at pharmacy are 2% or do we dillute with ??distilled or fresh tap water.My sick orchids didn't make it so I bought 2 from Ikea like I said,so One I already cut off old roots.I didn't know I needed to wash the pot,plus if my hands are washed between orchids,why wear gloves?I will put new media but have only bark.Can we get the other in Greece?Never seen it?Why do you prefer clay pots ,which can't see what roots are doing.Found hard CLEAR PLASTIC pots at Leroy Merlin,to put orchids in when they need repotting,but they are slightly bigger than what you show in this video.Is it okay to go up a size slightly when we buy like the IKEA ones u showhere?Thanks on your new experiment video with the synthetic threadout through hole in bottom,etc.Be interested to see how it goes.What is the orange pebble media?Thanks again Danni.Learning a lot from your videos.
Hi, hydrogen peroxide of up to 3% doesn't need dilution, higher than that it does and I used osmosis water (distilled is ok too). I wear gloves because I don't like dirt and splinters under my finger nails, also I don;t like touching insects that might live in the pot :) here is a video on why I prefer clay pots ua-cam.com/video/z0y7-wzBRKQ/v-deo.html going up a size solely depends on the orchid and its growth type, there are mini orchids or medium orchids and large orchids, so the size needs to be chosen depending on each individual orchid and its habits. Here is a video in which I talk about my clay medium and how it works ua-cam.com/video/cPjRkhWOivg/v-deo.html
Hi. I have been bitten by the orchid bug. I've heard it is not dangerous but that it can cause loss of weight especially in your wallet region. All kidding aside, love your videos and hope you can help me with a problem. I think my plants are not blooming because they do not get a cool temperature at night. I don't know how to correct it. Do you have any creative ways to accomplish this ?
How do you decide what type of pot to put your orchids in. Some of your videos you have them in a clear pot with holes and an additional pot, and others in a clay pot. Very new to all this. I have 3 orchids now and one ceramic pot that i was going to use and the secondary pot, but the plastic pot was too big, so I left in that for the moment, until I exchange the pot. I would like to just put in one pot if its ok. Just trying to understand.
Whats a kaykee?? One of my leafs fell off and was squishy at the root part, am I underwatering or overwatering?? All the flowers fell off but there
Are tiny little buds on the
The green vines and one part tunrned a little yellow and let the flower fall off!! What does that mean when flowers fall off!! ?? What can I do to make this orchid a success?? I just got it a month ago and repotted and feed it liquid
Food for orchid!!!
What do you need to do when the orchid is putting out new leave in the upper stem? Love your videos
Should you remove the dark black spots on the stem? I have an orchid with serious rot and only 2 roots left. Not sure it’s salvageable… but am wondering if I need to scrape the dark black off the stem.
What ended up happening,?
MissOrchidGirl - well I've seen a lot of videos, and I purchased a dendro phalenopsis..she was very dry and I purchased it, there are canes and one cane I already cut because was mushy, but there's another one that has a black area...and I don't know if I should keep it our not...oh, I did rub the cinnamon on the tip...do you have a video on how do I know what's a good or bad cane? Thank you so much for your videos...The phalaneop...I rescued from my neighbor is doing great, she's growing new leaves and bloomed for at least a month...I think the blue jays in my back yard like my plant and they continue to come and I saw them standing on her.....I am worried about the dendro but I see a video right now..."How to deal with sick Dendrobium orchids"
Just curious, but why did you decide not to apply cinnamon? I'm dealing with a very sick orchid myself right now, that has a nasty case of root rot that has spread terribly. I'm down to two leaves but I haven't given up yet I'm trying a lot of different things in your videos are extremely helpful!
My orchids are growing out of the pot so that you see all the old growth. How do I get rid of the brown growth that has grown several inches above the pot?
Great information .x
thank you .....
I do noticed some knubs on the stem of my Phals & had no clue of what they were.
Great video! Thank you! How did you pot the last one? Did you leave the rotted part above the medium? Did the upper part eventually produce roots and then you are able to cut the rotted part at the bottom off?
These videos are awesome. I do have a question, do you have to cut the flower spike from the stem or can you cut it higher up for new growth?
I have a phalaenposis that neck of the orchid is brown, i have tried garlic water , also cinnamon, but there is a keiki, also it is in a clay pot, the leaves looked a bit yellow, could please advise thank you
I REALLY wanna know how that last orchid is doing..lol
I have an phalaenopsis orchid that has produced 1 Keiki(Sp?) that has one flower and another Keiki growing on the other flower spike. I can tell it needs to be repoted. Should I repot now or after roots have developed on the baby's. I am concerned about mother plant. I have enjoyed you channel and I have learned lots.
Where can I buy the treatment for my orchids. I really need it urgently. Please if someone can give me the information thanks
How often would you suggest repotting an orchid? The last time I repotted mine was 10 months ago but now it looks a bit stressed with flowers blooming and leaves are slightly wrinkly. So I am thinking would I need to provide fresh medium to it and cut potential dead roots? I water the plant usually every 10-14 days, letting water run through the pot and it is in a transparent plastic pot with holes on to allow air flow and away from sunlight.
Can you repot healthy orchid producing new leaf or would that stress plant too much?
I really wanna succeed at this!! I bought a book and am trying hard,nit to wet leaves or give cold water , or to put it out in sun, left it out in the rain, though!!!
Help me please??
help I have two bud stems that appear like they have gotten to cold and with sap hanging on the ends . Can it be saved? thank you for any help .
I am wondering if the orchids survived 🙏🏻
I killed most of my Orchids this summer, but I want to try again, being more careful this time, so I am rewatching your videos, thank you!!
I also didn't know you were in Cyprus, την καλησπέρα μου στην όμορφη Λευκωσία!! 😊
Hi, Informative video. One question if I may; where do your orchids get sunlight from because you seem to use clay pots. OR is it enought to take them out occasionally for a bit of sun?
Hi there. I have a sick orchid. Very close to the last orchid you potted in this video. What I see on my orchid roots are that the covering is dry and limp and when I try to take that off, I found a thin thread like root under the covering. Should I cut the thread off the sick orchid for it to become healthy?
I'm new of taking care of orchids, i have this 1 orchid plant which has crown rot... i actually prefer to stick them on the tree... can i have some suggestions how am i going to make it will survive from crown rot ? It seems will not going to make new leaves but the hopes that i saw is that it's growing new roots, after i had stick it into the living tree...
Hi Danny. I really like your videos. I had ordered a Phal online. I wasn't home and the I saw now that roots have become dry and brown. watched your videos and repotted it. Hope she survives. I have hydrated the roots and placed it on top of the medium for better aeration. Any tips?
hi .i have bought an orchid from ikea ,after few days the leavs one by one become yellow and fallen dawn by it self
it had round roots the bottom parts are white to yellow ,the upper roots are dark
can you advice me what shell i do whith the orchid?
I still don’t understand how to rehydrate this orchid. I know it is possible but you didn’t describe how to do this.
Sorry for asking.please can you tell me what materials you used in the roots.its because I have never planted an orchids so I have no ideas .i will start once I will know what is the solid or Barks you used.thank you so much
My Phal is down to one yellow leaf and one newish looking green leaf bought cheap at a Nursery who had overwatered it. I cut off the sad flowers, gave it a new pot, removed some old roots, added a specialist orchid mix, and now letting it dry out - I hope I have down what it needs to survive. I am also keeping it inside to stay warm. As I am so new to this type of orchid, do you think it will survive with one leaf, and at what point do you give into the death process?
Really appreciate all your videos, as I am new to the orchid hobby. I recently purchased a phal with 3 spikes, deep yellow flowers with some pink. The leaves and spikes are such a bright green, it almost looks fake. Is this due to the light it was exposed to (new to the store) or a different kind of phal? Also, my orchids are in my master bathroom, at an east-facing "frosted" window.
THAT's a point.
How can they photosynthesise in an opaque pot?
Hello,
I recieved about 5 orchids from my now passed Grandmother, most are over grown with "air roots" and there are 2 smaller ones I did not even know where orchids,I belive they suffer over watering and All of them extremely temperature exposure,when I brought from one home to another,it was maybe 18 degrees out doors. Of course flowers fell off in 2 days ,it a newb. At orchids,
Watching your videos I believe they are stressed and neglected and horribly in need of repotting..
My question is: if they are air plants ,can they be grown in a hollowed log? And should I use fertilizer and orchid soil mix ? Thanks for your time .
the H2O2 is pure or mixed with water?
Francesco di Fazio it’s a 3% solution. That’s what’s most common from the drug store
Hi. I just subscribed to your channel and I love it. I have a small collection of phalaenopsis, they've been doing great for a while, right now one of them is started to show a light yellow color in the upper leaves. I don't know if I can repot it or not since the plant is in a wood basket. What is your opinion about this?
I could see this is an older video because of the clay pots. And you said I don’t like plastic pots. You have changed since then. I have lots of algea issues right now, pleas post the video about allgee, I can’t fine it. Please..
I have a sick orchid .. but it has a baby on its stem! How do I make sure the baby lives and the bottom doesn’t die off
How do you mix your pridize to spray on your sick phal
But when you replant in a clay pot, don't you eliminate root photosynthesis, except at the very top?
+alan30189 yes you absolutely do :)
Could you use Witch Hazel instead of hydrogen peroxide?
WOULD LOVE TO SEE WHAT HAPPENED TO THE PLANTS FEATURED HERE!
I need help with my first orchid. It was doing well for so long. But recently I noticed the roots weren't as green and since it hadn't been in bloom for a few months and had already grown it's new leaf I repotted it once and it was fine for a couple weeks but then I noticed the leaves were all yellow at the base. After a lot of reading I think it was either heat stress and/or root rot. I cut all the old roots off that weren't good. It has one small new root left and some which aren't so good in sections but then seem better at other sections. It lost 2 of its 3 leaves and now has only one single large leaf which is yellow in the center. I repotted again in a much smaller pot, but am unsure of how to proceed. It is in miracle gro brand bark potting mix, and I have moved it to my bedroom which is the only air conditioned room of the house ..Im not sure if I should mist it or not, if it should stay where it's air conditioned (69F) 8-12 hours a day, or how much light to give it? I took pictures but I don't know where to ask for help other than here?
I'm also now worried that it doesn't have enough support as the pot is too shallow to put a stake in and it seems to have moved overnight from upright to more horizontal
Hi, a picture would be of great help, particularly since you say the crown is yellow, just upload a picture to photobucket, flickr, instagram, imgur or g plus and share the link in a comment here, I'll take a look :)

Here is it currently. I have it resting on the wall because if I move it it falls over. Not the leaf it's still perky but the whole plant seems unstable now. It was standing up fine last night though after I put it in this pot. It's like it's worked its way loose from the media

+MissOrchidGirl I treated it with hydrogen peroxide 3% yesterday incase it had rot in places and I cleaned out the water that was left in the crown and then put cinnamon in it to dry it. Today when I woke up it had a pool of water in the crown it's like it's discharging it's water into its crown I dried it up again. I really need to know what to do :(
