Step 1: Assess the Condition

Before you embark on the journey to revive your orchid, take a moment to carefully inspect it. Look for signs of distress such as wilting flowers, yellowing or withering leaves, and dry, brittle roots. This initial assessment will help you understand the extent of the damage and tailor your care routine accordingly.

Step 2: Reevaluate Its Environment

Orchids are sensitive to their surroundings, and a change in conditions can lead to stress. Ensure your orchid is placed in a location with the right balance of light, humidity, and temperature. Most orchids thrive in bright, indirect light and require good air circulation. Avoid placing them in direct sunlight or near heating or cooling vents.

Step 3: Adjust the Watering Routine

One of the most common reasons orchids wilt is improper watering. Aim for a consistent watering schedule, allowing the orchid’s roots to absorb moisture before the next watering. Ensure that the pot has drainage holes, and never let the orchid sit in standing water, as this can lead to root rot.
