Can I revive my orchid plant?

I have a really pretty orchid that I bought during the summer. It had larger wide leaves at the bottom and really pretty white and pink flowers with the pink only in the center. But all of the leaves have turned yellow %26amp; fallen off. the roots are still green and I saw a new chute of roots which I broke off by mistake. I hope it is not too late. will the base leaves grow back if I care for it properly? what should I do?

What you had sounds like a variety of moth orchid, if all the leaves have fallen off it may be too late. But you can try to revive it by watering it with "miracle grow" 7 drops in about a pint of water. Orchids are usually planted in bark. They can't tolerate sitting in water. The water has to drain well.
Reply:it might, just be patient. I received an orchid for mothers day this year and it is just now growing new leaves.
Reply:It does not sound good, its possible that you have kept your plant too wet. During the winter Orchids only need watering every 2-3 weeks, and weekly during the summer.

If the potting mix is too wet the orchid will rot and die.

If it is too wet, let it dry out and see what happens. It would have helped if I knew what Species of Orchid it was. They do need fertilising regularly. Use a slow release fertiliser every 6 mths, or a liquid feed at half rate, every time you do water. Good Luck with it.
Reply:Did it look like this? (Phalaenopsis, Moth Orchid)

If so, it's probably a goner. Most Phals don't come back once they've lost all of their leaves. If there's even one leaf left, there's usually hope.
