1) Add new bark

The first thing to do is repot it in a fresh substrate made from pine bark specifically for orchids.
This helps because:

• it helps the roots dry better

• prevents rot

• allows the roots to breathe

 Orchids  don't  live in common soil: they suffocate.

 2) Add water… the right way

It is not necessary to water more, but to water well and less often.

How to do it:

• immerse the vase in warm water for 10 minutes

• it drains perfectly

• water again only when the bark is almost completely dry

 Soft leaves + rotten roots = too much water.
 Wrinkled leaves + dry roots = too little water.
