Caring for orchids

[motherofnicole]

Hi Folks,

I got this fantastically beautiful orchid as a gift. Unfortuantely, I knew nothing about orchids and did not know the pot did not have a drainage hole. So, I believe I overwatered it, because the beautiful flowers are drooping. Is there anything I can do to save this plant? Thanks for any help you can offer,
I'm devastated!

Welcome to the forum!.
Unfortunately your post remained unnoticed.
My answer is that yes, hopefully you can do something.
First I have a question: how long do you have that plant? If for weeks, the flowers could reach the end of their life span and now are dying.
But, it's probable that at least a part of the root system is gone. Pull out the plant carefully, check the roots, cut off what is bad (black, soft, mushy, hollow inside) using a sterile tool, and re pot. Good roots are firm, have green/white color.
If all the roots are dead than the problem is bigger.
