I think my orchid is dying what can i do ?

I have had the orchid since febuary it was doing really well until recently i moved it out onto our sun porch because my cat was eating it is it possible it is getting too much sunlight...help

I think my orchid is dying what can i do ?
First of all make sure that the cat didnt dig or spray it by urinating on it. Orchids like to stay in one place and not be disturbed. I would move it back and detour the cat with moth balls at the base of the pot and tell your sweet kitty to leave mommies plant alone and she'll give you a treat. You also have to prune your orchid gentle and keep a close eye on the amount of water you give it so that its never completely dry nor soaking wet. They hold water in their stock. Good luck.
Reply:Not the sunlight, it's not getting enough moisture ---humidity, orchids are very needy and sensitive to temperature changes and humidity levels ---it might be too cold out there at night too.
Reply:Martha Stewart Flowers website has some information that you might be able to use. I hope this helps. I was going to buy an Orchid plant for my girlfriend, but I realized that she would probably not take care of it properly.

Reply:It's possible, not all flowers love direct sun shine...try to visit some websites on that topic or go to wikipedia and search for orchid.





Thanks

  1. I repotted two orchid plants whose roots were exposed and seemingly pot bound. I now read that the roots should be left exposed. Do I unpot and expose roots and hope for the best? The leaves on one look wrinkled and not well. The other one looks stunted but is still alive...barely. What to do?
