They would love that. I wouldn’t bother with potting them until they’re revived; just leave them loose in moist bark chunks in the aquarium. Leave the top open, though, and mist them every week. You want moist conditions, not soaking wet.

Also add some fertilizer to the routine. I use a spray on (so you hit both the leaves and the roots) from Miracle Grow that my orchids have loved.

I am re-habbing one for a friend right now, too. This one wasn’t nearly as far gone as what you’re dealing with, though.

And, if all else fails, just buy Dear Old Mom a few new ones. ;)

Thank you. I am going out today to the garden centers to collect what is needed.
