New "rescue" orchid. It has tons of healthy roots and is in good shape other than some mild edema.

do you have any tips on helping a spider plant that isnt doing so well? i ordered one that arrived in the mail during a frost and thus is browning on the tips and i dont know how to help it :( would leaching it help?

As long as the center of the plant and the roots remain healthy, it should recover and begin producing new growth eventually. You might want to check the roots to trim off any that might have been damaged by the frost or are rotting. Healthy roots will be white and firm. Otherwise I would say to just water it normally (allow the top inch of soil to dry between waterings) and keep it in a warm spot with bright, indirect lighting so that it can recover. Make sure the air isn't too dry around the plant; low humidity could be contributing to the brown leaf tips as well.

Unfortunately I don't have much experience with frost damage as I live in a warm climate. However I do know that @plantanarchy is currently nursing a plant that was nearly completely frozen, so he may have some more specific advice for saving a frost damaged plant. I hope your plant recovers!

‘Pearls and Jade’ pothos (Epipremnum aureum)

Interestingly, this cultivar was originally produced by irradiating ‘Marble Queen’ pothos with gamma rays and cultivating the resulting stem mutation (source).
