A maybe dead orchid. Half the stems are green. Some of the leaves are dark green. We’re aren’t sure if we can save her but we don’t want to throw her out, if there’s a chance. Any help appreciated!

Mhm! The bad leaf popped off without issue for my wife. I snipped the stalks down. Hopefully she can recover… The plant, I mean. Not my wife. We both don’t have green thumbs but really want to.
Thank you for the advice!
Absolutely! I found my love for orchids by accident, without realizing what I signed up for lol I was actually surprised at how resilient they were in spite of my mistakes. I’d often get multiple blooms a year though!
My general rules of thumb that kept my 2 grocery store orchids going for almost 3y was to keep watering low (I did ~1-2 tablespoons once a week), prune stalks after the flowers die (don’t rush this since can die before the rest grow in), and use cloth/canvas pots that can breathe.
