Here's a couple methods that seem to work most of the time. Keeps the humidity up so the leaves don't transpire moisture and become descimated so quickly. Without roots orchids can't take up water and this keeps the leaves hydrated somewhat. Just a simple technique.

Yes, sphag-n-bag and its variations do work quite well at reviving orchids! My other favorite method (for Catts especially) is water culture.
