| Many orchids are really tough plants, and some can recover from desperate states. But even if your orchid did manage to survive, it would be years before it could be strong enough to bloom again. My advice is to throw it away, and try to figure out what went wrong. |

| My orchid a year old and has lost its leaves and stem so all there is no plant visible at all. The leaves wilted and died off and the stem went brown and dry, so I cut that off and am waiting to see if anything apprears from the pot. Do I continue to water and fertilize or is it dead? |

| Orchids and ferns often grow together as air plants in the rainforest, but in the confines of a flowerpot, they compete for limited space. Many ferns are vigorous growers, and their roots can quickly take over, depriving your Phal of space, water, and nutrients. If you want the orchid to bloom again, you will need to remove the fern. Repot the orchid and remove all the fern's roots and fronds. If you don't want to repot now, then at least remove all fern fronds, and be persistent in pinching out any new ones. |

| My moth orchid has grown and bloomed happily for years, but somehow a fern started growing in its pot. They look great growing together, but I didn't know if it's harming the orchid. Can these 2 plants coexist? |

| If it's been in bloom for 2 months, it may have dropped its flowers because it needs a rest. Orchids use a great deal of energy to bloom. Follow basic orchid care tips to help it bloom again. |

| Orchids can have yellow leaf tips for a variety of reasons: too much or too little fertilizer, too much water, old age of the leaf, temperatures too low, or the orchid needs to be repotted. Try to investigate, but since that list of potential problems makes it tough to really narrow it down, if the plant otherwise seems healthy, I wouldn't worry. |

| A friend gave me a Orchid as a gift and the tips of leaves are turning yellow. What does this mean? |

| Odontoglossums will not grow more flowers from an old flower stem. Remove it with a clean, sharp scissors (see previous entry from June 11.) |
