A phaleanopsis orchid plant that has pale, limp leaves are suffering from heat and over watering. The phaleanopsis likes to be in indirect light, such as north, northeast, and northwest. It really doesn’t like being close to a window. Glass will magnify heat and cold, which causes harm to the phaleanopsis orchid plant. It will thrive even in the darkest corners of your home or office.

Remove the badly damaged leaves that are very soft. The leaves that are still firm to the touch may plump back up with some TLC. If you have healthy roots, they are rounded and firm to the touch and grayish in colour with greenish tips.  This orchid plant might bounce back, but it may take a few weeks to see some real improvement.

As an orchid plant lover, I recommend choosing a plant with 3 or 4 open blooms and at least as many flower buds, for the enjoyment of 8 to 12 weeks of flowering. If you are lucky, your phalaenopsis orchid plant can bloom for as long as 16 weeks or more! You will enjoy an orchid plant in full bloom for approximately 4 to 8 weeks.
