I bought two potted orchids a red and a white at the same time. the same care was given to both so why did my red orchid die and my white one is still alive and well?

Might be the soil in one wasnt as nutrient rich as the other, also their placement, more sunlight may have hit one of them.

If that is taking position by the potting medium (which should be bark or perhaps lengthy fiber sphagnum moss, no longer soil) that is a root. And definite, the end will be eco-friendly and the inspiration fleshy. That the plant continues to be alive after no longer being watered for a month and a 1/2 is a tribute to how not common that is! This plant likes humidity and warm temperature - save it at 60F or above! do not allow the potting medium develop into thoroughly dry.

Perhaps the red one did not have the proper amount of the mold that helps orchids feed. Perhaps something happened to them when you were not there. Perhaps the white one is a hybrid, made to live longer. There could be many reasons.

maybe it was diseased. orchids are very easy to care for .they like lots of water in the hot days but less in the winter and a cool dappled shade area to grow in.they also like to be overcrowded in their pots eg: two or more young plants per pot,
