Root Rot Process

[YAgo]

Goodmorning everyone.

This is my first post to this Forum so I need some patience here :O)

I have been growing Orchids at my apartment here in Miami (west window, 78º-75º) for almost 6-8 month. I have never grew plants before much less Orchids, so it has been a time of exploration and learning.

I have Phals, Dends, one Call and one Dancing Lady

In the last 3-4 weeks I have been battling a major Root Rot in almost all my 20 orchids. I think the main problem was that I used Spag Moss on regular pots with little ventilation . To fix this I transfer all to Basket Pots with fully Hydroton, leaving water to sit no further the first and 1/2 little square ( half to one inch).

Also, I remove all the rot roots, clean the all the bottom of organic material and I bath in a solution of 1 H2O2 for 2 of Water. I also sprayed H2O2 directly to the cuts to sterilize.

The Good thing is the new Roots are growing close to the leaves on my Phals, the Dend and the Call are looking happier.

So I'm wondering if what I'm doing is enough, and if the rot process continues for a little while before they are fully healed?



Thank you
