Question
I have an orchid that isn't looking too great. During the summer my mother was still caring for it and severly burnt 1 of its 4 leaves. After removing the burnt leaf I repotted it and took it back and it now lives with my other orchids. The previous media it was in was a mixture of moss and bark, but one of the under leaves turned yellow and appeared to be rotting. So I removed the moss, removed the rotted leaf, and some additional roots that appeared rotted, and now the last 2 leaves are weak and wrinkly. I am not sure what time of orchid it is as I have never seen it bloom, but the leaves appear to be that of a phal. Any advise would be greatly appreciated as this orchid does have some sentimental meaning to me. (my grandfather gave it to me when I was in the hospital and part of its name is my own.)

Answer
Deva, it is likely that you have a phalaenopsis orchid.  Wrinkled leaves are almost always the result of root rot.  You have taken some steps in the right direction by removing the mushy roots and taking out the sphagnum moss.  If you still have some healthy roots, repotting it in a standard orchid potting mix in a plastic pot with lots of drainage holes is in order. Keep it on the dry side. Some recommmend placing a bit of damp sphagum moss in the bottom of a plastic bag and placing the potted plant in the bag with the moss.  Don't seal the bag.  The moss should increase the humidity around the plant.  If, and when, new growth appears, you can remove it from the bag and water once per week.  If your orchid potting mix contains about 1/2 inch size pieces of fir bark and it feels dry, wet it for a couple of hours prior to use.  Then, after repotting it, let it draain for a day or two before placing it in the bag with the moss.
