This time was going to be different. After all my oldest boy who seldom shows any emotion gave me a purple (my favorite color) orchid for mother's day, this was monumental. Well below is the closest thing online I can find to what it looked like when I first got it.
I was going to be smart this time and bring it to work, if I saw it on my desk everyday how in the world could I possible forget about it - Right?? Well despite my love for this plant it is extremely suicidal and is not responding to anything. I tried new soil, less water, more water, more sunlight, less sunlight nothing is working. I even tried motivational speeches, nothing is working. Well the other day the last of the large leaves at the bottom fell off. I'm left with a dead dry stalk and a very tiny green leaf.
WHAT AM I DOING WRONG?? Maliek thinks it's hilarious and Dae was slightly offended when he was at the office last. Someone in internet land has got to know what I can do to bring this back. Please help :)

First... orchids are quite possibly the hardest flower to take care of! So take heart. It's not all you. now, call adam. He is a genious when it comes to plants.Love ya!
Orchids need humidity. and each variety of orchid is different than all the others. Research online. Some orchids dry out all the way and then grow again, so it may be part of its natural cycle.
Muchos gracias! I am going to try again with a brand new healthy orchid :)
