There are soooo many factors that can cause an orchid's demise, but I will go through the Top 10 or 11 or 12 important factors that can cause an orchid to collapse and leave a collection. I will also attempt to give some tips and tricks to avoid an orchid from declining further once a diagnosis has been made. Bearing in mind, that we are dealing with living organisms, with a very slow metabolism, that it may all be too late to save an orchid. The diagnosis for an orchid showing signs of stress may be wrong, but we won't know that until some time passes, and other times, we cannot come up with any logical explanation to us, as to why an orchid has an affliction and then collapsed in on itself. Your input in this live stream is of importance for anyone watching the stream on replay, because we have so many environments and conditions in the orchid community that sharing those with the rest of the community will prove very helpful as we discuss why do orchids die? Why is a specific orchid dying and can anything be done to fix it! #stressed #orchids #dyingorchids #tips #save #orchidcare
