Why are the stems of my orchids shriveled?

Answer by  chrisjensd (703)

Some of the most likely reasons are underwatering or exposure to cold temperatures. Orchids need to be thoroughly watered two times a week. They also love a warm (about 75 degrees)environment with little variation in temperature. If exposed to cold, shock is usually the result.

This is normal. Cut the stem off close to the base. Continue to feed and water regularly. The plant will send up a new stem in a few months.
