Rain-Soaked Orchid: Repot, Drain & Light Fix

Outdoor rain + no drainage = waterlogged roots. Dark green leaves = too much shade, not overwater damage per se.

Rescue Steps

1. Repot in fresh orchid mix + pot with drainage.
2. Trim mushy/stringy roots. Keep firm, green-when-wet ones.
3. Never let pot stand in water.
4. Increase light—dark green leaves need more sun. Yellow-green is target.
5. Phalaenopsis prefer 55–80°F.

Leaf Texture Check

Firm leaves = okay. Soft/mushy = bad sign. Dark green just means "give me more light."
