User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The relationship between trees and orchids is not considered parasitic because it is a type of epiphytism. Orchids use trees for support and elevated position to access sunlight, moisture, and nutrients from the air and debris that accumulates around them.

If the leaves of your orchid plant became waterlogged and fell off, it may still survive if the roots are healthy. Trim any rotting roots, repot the orchid in fresh, well-draining soil, and adjust your watering routine to ensure the plant dries out between waterings. With proper care, it has a chance to recover.
