Okay so I removed the orchid from the pot and it sure is a rotten mess! I can definitely smell it now.
The sphag was inconsistently damp, some areas were bone dry others very moist.
I ran into another problem while removing it from the pot, the leaves completely fell off, they're black at the bottoms and it's black around the area they fell from....Is this normal for root rot?
I took some photos of the roots and the leaves:
The roots are a mushy mess, I can feel 3 firm roots that appear to be okay. I've got it sitting in the shower right now, I won't be able to repot it until tomorrow, will this kill it?
I have not trimmed the rotten roots, can this wait until tomorrow as well? I gave no cinnamon handy.
