Q.My orchid leaves are vertical and too heavy for my orchid to stand up

Zone Amarillo tx | Anonymous added on August 20, 2020 | Answered

I have changed my orchids to water in glass. They are doing fairly well. However one was misshaped and the root ball and leaves are vertical; the leaves are heavy and it will not stand up even with assistance. Is there anything I can do. It does not have a stem yet for flowers. Thanks in advance for your assistance.

I suggest experimenting with different glass containers till you find one that works. Also, work with the lighting. Plants will grow toward the light.
Are you alternating days in the water with days out of the water?
