It's only curse is probably the care given it.

Here is a link to The American Orchid Societies Phalaenopsis cultivation notes for beginners.

AOS Phalaenopsis cultivation notes

There is a mountain of Information about Phalaenopsis and many past threads on this site that you can research. Also, you need to give more details of where you are in the USA and the conditions where you have the orchid to get more advice. With Tlc the orchid will recover but it might take a couple of years before it blooms again.

The pot is too big for sure.

It would help if you provide the zone and State you live in. The growing conditions, light, temps, etc.

Those two roots are alive. Repot the plant into a small pot. Put it in the brightest window you can find. Do not overwater. Its Spring time, the plant can recover, but you need to get it out of that large pot. Remember, these plants grow on the sides of trees. They do not grow in pots. They need as much air around their roots as feasible. A large pot will never dry out and will rot the two remaining roots.

Please provide the growing condtions. You can save it, perfect time of year.

My zone is 6B, East Tennessee. Thank you

I agree that's a huge pot. You need a 4 inch pot for such a small plant.

Did you soak the potting bark before repotting? I think the plant looks dehydrated. Is it possible that your conditions at home are warmer and less humid that those at work?

How do you water? I would probably soak the orchid in room temp water with a tiny touch of orchid fertilizer for 20 mins once a week. And mist daily to try to increase humidity. If you can add a humidifier to your growing area, even better. I have rehabbed a few Phals and those with dark, limp leaves and few roots have all been dehydrated. I suspect whoever had it before you either really over-watered and rotted all the roots or really under-watered and they all dried up. Or both, if there hasn't been any consistency to the plant's care.

In theory, watering once a week is good for orchids but not if they don't have enough roots to take up the water or if the medium isn't absorbing the water or if the growing climate is super dry.

Thanks, everyone. I got a new 4in plastic pot today. Planning on soaking the bark. The difficulty I foresee from this point is that it has lost almost all of its roots. So it isn't getting enough water. Either way, will do what I can. Thank you for your suggestions, very helpful!

Hello, my first thought is it is greatly over potted - they like to be slightly confined in container. The moss is really not an issue as long as it is not packed around the base - always think airflow. This type will do well in bright window, but not intense sun. Use a little liquid orchid fert every few months, but don't over do it - when you do feed make sure you apply to a moist/hydrated plant and get on top and bottom of leaves as well as saturating the medium. Do not ever let it sit in water for any length of time, always dump out any water from the container. Be patient, it may surprise you! Good luck, Susan

P.S. There is no such thing as a cursed orchid, the 2 words should never be used together, they are a joy - always.
