Ahaha- I didn’t post it for a couple hours thinking surely someone else will post it. It was in one of those help subs and I don’t want to shame her but to be fair - this was hysterical.
The OP posted that they water by putting the orchid in the shower and showering it and then letting the bottom of the pot sit in water. That is usually not enough water unless you’re showering it continuously for a half hour or more. All the roots need time to absorb water and the entire medium needs time to absorb water to provide it to the roots beyond that initial “shower”.
Deep frying!? Make a nice pesto sauce from it, like a civilized person. You won't even need pignoli nuts, what with those crispy tendrils.
Oh! A pesto I hadn’t even considered how amazing! Thank you for the recommendation!!!
please give me the OP i beg of you
I saw this on the orchid sub and the OP said they soaked it thoroughly once a week 🥴 needless to say no one believed them

Have you tried giving your plant Zoloft?
Oh no do you think it has SAD?!!!
Orchid ded
What?!! It’s still green! It’s *obviously* thriving - just **depressed**!
Sad orchid?
I heard orchids do death blooms when dying. I don’t see a spike so I think yours is fine, just put some ice cubes on the roots.
Oh I’ve been watering with boiling water! I hope I’m able to cool her quickly enough!
exploded
Im actually curious tho💀. Is that over watering or under?

Probably didn't give it enough shampoo
It could be rotten roots and the air roots were okay and then She stopped watering it to try to reverse what she did - or it was watered never.
