In this case the Orchid needs to be rescued FROM my care.
About a year ago I bought a couple Orchids at Trader Joe's. One I've left alone, and is doing fine. The other I decided to divide up, unfortunately I didn't really have enough spots with sufficient sunlight to place the divisions, so they have suffered. My climate is probably close to perfect, but without enough sun, they do not do well. They were likely overwatered as well, as they ended up on the same watering schedule as my largely cloud forest plants. And a couple of them got knocked out of their pots at least once (by the squirrels, or perhaps a stray foot). So now I'm looking for someone to give one or more of these guys a better home, before I kill them due to neglect.
The leaves are not strongly variegated, but slightly. There is some speculation online that the Trader Joe's plant (which originated from the Korean-American company Chisan Orchids) might be a variegated sport of the Cymbidium 'Dag', or something similar.
Here's a photo showing both flowers and variegated leaves (a year ago, shortly after i got the plants):
I figured it would be most straightforward if I just showed where the divisions are, roots and all (or what's left of roots):
So if anyone (in the U.S.) wants one or more of these, for shipping, contact me, and we will figure things out. I'm putting them back in pots with bark, for the short term.
