Just an updated picture to show how healthy this Orchid is.  Just look at the two new roots, the two new healthy leaves, and the plumped up original wrinkled, dehydrated leaves.  I am in total awe when I think back to when this Phalaenopsis was just about knocking on death's door last year, completely rootless.  

​She's come a long way ... I'm very proud of myself for not giving up and tossing her in the garbage, like most other people would have done.  So KUDOS TO ME!!!  😊

​Second new root discovered growing downward into the LECA media.

So this once rootless Phalaenopsis Orchid officially has 2 new healthy leaves and 2 new roots.  I never dreamed this beauty would ever recover, but she did!   😘

Original floppy and wrinkled leaves actually look less dehydrated, firmer and perking up.

Check out how much the first aerial root has grown since it emerged October 10th, and the second baby leaf born October 17th!

​OMG, a new tiny baby leaf? YES, another new baby leaf is emerging!  This is more excitement than I can bear, coming from a Phalaenopsis Orchid that was near death just 2 months ago, without roots, no less!  ​😊  

​If you look to the right of the crown, under the first new leaf, you can see the first root growing!  Very cool!!!

Oh, the leaves are not checkerboard, that's the sun shining through the window screen...pretty cool effect!
