:Non-terrestrial orchids are usually planted in bark or volcanic rocks and in order to give the water time for absorption, water with ice cubes. Put 3 to 5 cubes right on top of the planting medium and as they melt the dripping water will soak into the bark or lava better and will also humidify the whole area around the roots and leaves. Cymbidiums and a few other orchids are planted in a more soil/earth-like medium and weekly watering with an orchid food and water mix will give you great results.
Reply:Might not be dead - just resting.





You need to know what kind of orchid you have so you can take proper care of it.





See source for most common orchids you can grow at home.
Reply:You may have been watering it too often.


They only need watering once a week.


If the majority of the plant has died then you plant is lost :(





Hope this helps xx
