Rejuvenating stressed Orchids Part 1 - Limp, leathery leaves
- 6 years ago
So here I am sorting out the Phalaenopsis orchids I received for our anniversary. Most of them just need some attention, some require a bit of work, so this video is split in 2 parts. In part 1 I talk about general aspects in dealing with a stressed orchid. \r

The Phalaenopsis in this video is looking rather sad. The leaves are limp, they have no gloss and developed wrinkles. This is a clear sign of dehydration. But to determine the cause of dehydration we need to take a look at the roots. \r
\r
A repot is always a good idea with new orchids, as it gives you the chance to take a look at the roots, see if the medium is suited for you or if you have any pests hiding in there. So I discovered this orchid has a decent root system, but the stem was cut in the past. This means the orchid might be older than I thought. I also use hydrogen peroxide 3% to limit fungi or snails, to learn more visit this video it can be used on fungal spots and roots to prevent snails.\r
\r
Overall this plant is not sick, she just needs some hydration and proper care. In part 2 we will look at some more stressed and even sick orchids.\r
