Overwatered Phalaenopsis: Emergency Repotting in Fir Bark

Watering Every 3 Days in Wrong Mix Causes Rot

If any leaf remains, repot now: get coarse fir-bark hobby mix (Home Depot/Lowes). Soak mix. Unpot, rinse roots, remove mushy ones. Repot in plastic pot with many holes. No water 1 week, then weekly. East window, indirect light.
