Howdoes one revive an orchid?

[dividedself]

It has new leaf growth but the stem is dried and dead after serious non-watering. Is there anything Ican do.

PS this isn't a euphemism for my love life!

If you've got new leaf growth it should be fine. Cut off the dried stem (that used to have the flowers on). Put the plant in a slightly colder/darker place & water occasionally, you should get a new shoot within a few months. They generally only flower once a year (twice if you're really lucky) so for most of the time they don't look particularly decorative!

And let the roots be out in the light. Mines going great guns now. Al previous versions dies because I put them in nice ceramic post holders.

Thank you both. Much appreciated - will try the root thing too!
