Phal help: keeping remaining aerial root hydrated + stem rot

[yvresse]

Wow, once again, thank you all for the tips and advice!

I feel much more confident about being able to give my orchid a better environment.

I will hold off on the fertilizer.

Re KelpMax, I am very keen on trying it since I'm trying my best to give it the best changes. I feel terrible for suffocating it and he's trying so hard to recover!!! Ray was right, C&C won't ship until April so I'll just keep my orchid stable, see how it goes and if needed, try to find a kelp brand available locally. Thank you for your help and encouragement, everyone!
