I bring a lot of small plug size orchids to the farmer's markets and they have a tendency to fall out of the pots.

One Lc. Angel's Treasure fell out several times. The last time it was in a hot truck for a week and fell on the ground when setting up. After stepping on it 3-4 times over the day, it was found on packing. There was nothing left of the leaves other than a little green in between breaks in the leaves. This on a 3 inch high plant with 1 inch of roots.

I did not have the heart to throw it away and happen to find it in the shade house today growing nicely and filling a 4 inch pot in only 6 months from semi-destroying it.

It may even bloom this summer but certainly by next year at the rate of growth.
