    Neglected orchids - will they survive?

    Hi all

    Two of my lovely orchids have been badly neglected and the leaves have gone all crinkly and thin rather than plump and full. I have given them a good water and drain now but anyone had orchids like this make a recovery?

    Mine were worse than that, in fact one of them still is...........................but the other one is totally different. After some root pruning & feeding with Orchid feed, it has come on really well:

      Repot them and feed with orchid feed and they should recover.

        Thanks, I will give it a go. I need to find some of the proper bark for then as the compost I had has caused a lot of rot on the roots. To wet and they couldn't breath I think
