7-Year Family Orchid: Snapped, Regrew 2 Leaves, Now Dying

Heirloom Orchid: Snapped in Move, Regrew 2 Leaves in 6 Months, Now Failing

7-year plant, leafless 3 years but flowered. Move snapped it → mud tub + green stick. 6 months care → 2 leaves. Now 1 dead, 2 wrinkly/pale. Glass vase + bark.

Glass Vase = No Drainage = Root Rot

Repot in plastic pot with holes. Unpot → find collapsed roots → trim. Healthy = firm, green wet. Air movement through mix essential.
