I'll tell you that it happens to everybody. A few years ago in Florida I was bowling in my league and going to the orchid club meeting after that. I had a Vanda in the car. The windows were cracked a few inches each and I was in the shade. When I was done and arrived at the meeting I checked on the Vanda. It was 50-60% yellow green and kind of transparent. I couldn't donate it to the raffle. But by next morning, it was 90% mush!! I tossed it in the compost.
Me, with all of my experience, yet I cooked a plant. I felt so stupid. If I could have kicked my own butt, I would have.
