As the man in the garden centre told me to water it from the bottom, I put it on a plate with water and let it stand on it for a few hours… as this was how he had explained it to me. Looking at the plant now (and browsing the internet) I can now see I did it all wrong as everywhere it says to water them normally as any plant from the top… I probably drowned it now and therefore the flowers are getting wrinkled and yellow and are falling off… I am soo annoyed with myself as I so wanted to do a good job… how do I go from here ?!? I don´t want them to die… any help really welcome !!! Thanks Sara…

Thanks for you question! Have you looked at the roots at all?

I’d recommend you gently remove the orchid from the pot and examine the condition of the roots. What kind of damage do they have? How much damage do they have? This will help you determine what kind of state they are in. If there are a few healthy roots you can definitely nurse your orchid back to health.

Good Luck!

Carol :-)

Should I keep it? or just throw it away
