Phalaenopsis aphrodite with brown aerial roots, yellow leaves, and shriveled buds
Hello, I am new to this site so please excuse any first time errors in the use of posting, I want to learn!
This is my first orchid and I’m coming up on a year of caring for her. She has been in bloom for the full year, with the last set of blooms having just fallen off. I realized there wasn’t as many new blooms and one of the buds shrugged and fell with others on the way. I checked the roots and it seemed to suffer from some kind of root issue as the outside shell of the roots came off to show the inner White string of the roots. I trimmed the roots that I suspected to have root rot and left the firm roots, although they were all dark green/slightly gray. I’m addition, some of the aerial roots are browning by the stem. I recently moved so I’m not sure if this is a shell shock or if the plant is suffering from under watering, any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated.
