I killed a Sans recently, Cinta. It just fell over, like yours did. All I can figure is rot, since I read they shouldn't have a lot of soil under the roots, as they are so small, and this was a fairly deep pot. I took a healthy growth off it. It was like a division, but only has one leaf so far. I potted it. That "Siam Ruby" is to die for! I LOVE the color! I tend to underwater more than anything, for fear of rotting. Sometimes 2-3 weeks go by, and I don't water my orchids. Lost a few, then realized they need watering at least every 7-10 days--more often if small. I've also rotted orchids over the years. But it's true that every plant is an individual, and potting soil, light, etc. all come into play. The fan I have running also dries plants out quicker. Here's a pic of the Sans I planted. Should I have let it dry out before planting it? You can see another leaf starting at the base.
