    Ok went to Walmart to get a few things. I was looking through the plants for a few outside. Went I found this poor soul. Sp I bought it. It only rang up for 1.26. I hope I can save it. Any help will be great. I don't know much about Orchids. I'm sure I need to repot I got some orchid mix while I was there. I'm sure the same pot will be fine. If not I do have one a little bigger.

    Looks pretty good actually. Dry which is better than soaked and rotting. Usually they carry awful orchid mix. Too dirt like. And it appears to be a named one from the writing on the pot. I would give it a good long soak to make the roots easier to get out of the pot. Once you get it out you can access which roots are good. The leaves appear to be just some sunburn to me. If it doesn't progress there is no worry. It also looks to be a peloric. I would call it a good find. After getting it out of the pot, you will be able to tell which pot to put it in. Any roots that get green when soaked are good ones yet.

    Look like most of the roots where bad. Repoted cut bad roots and the bloom stocked off. My dog knocked off the table and broke it part way so I just cut it. I cleaned my cutting. Now it is by my window.

    It's in good condition. The roots are actively growing (root tips present). Continue keeping them happy and you'll be doing great.
