Our previous bathroom orchid lasted for years. This new one is being treated in the same way, but is very sick. What to do?

    Can you see any tiny white bugs in it?

    Too wet? Overwatering did my orchids in!

    where was the new orchid before? could it be a change in environment that stressed it? a photo would help see it a bit better

    It sounds like it might be too wet. If you're looking after it in the same way as before is it possible that it's planted in a pot that's too large, or in a potting mix that isn't well-draining enough? Do you have a photo?
