Is there any hope for a dead orchid?

I have 2 orchids both are dendrobuims. They are all dried up....is there any hope for them? I was thinking that I have to do is water them and keep them fertilized. Any suggestions?

Is there any hope for a dead orchid?
Don't toss them yet, they may be hibernating. Try soaking in water and then store in garage or some place cool, but not dark ,and forget them for a while. They may surprise you in a few months. This happened to my sister's plant. Saw it one day and it had suddenly started to show some green. Good luck but then again it may be time to say au revoir if they are too dried up and aloha to a replacement
Reply:Here you go. good luck, pretty flower!

Reply:If these plants only died in the fall, they may come back in the spring. Keep them warm and in a moist area (unless they are in soil, then keep the soil moist - not wet). If they have been dry for a long while, though, then they are D-E-A-D dead.
