Light brown roots on Phalaenopsis Female
Default Light brown roots on Phalaenopsis

I have a Phalaenopsis that I overwatered before I began to learn about orchid care. It grew a keiki and started showing signs of distress. I removed and potted the keiki, successfully, I hope.

Then I went to work on repotting the mother. There were some mushy, rotted roots, which I removed. There are only a few remaining roots. There are two long ones that are light brown, plump, and firm. I'm assuming they are that color because they were not in a clear pot. My concern is that there are a few black spots on those roots that I cannot clean off. Is that just dirt or is it a problem?

There are also two other roots that are only about an inch long. They are firm and plump, but all black. Should I remove them?
