eek! black roots! need fast help

hmmmm. I think I'll keep an eye on it, and maybe unpot it in 2-4 months and make sure it's doing ok. it's in a bark mix + a bit of moss now, with some very coarse bark in the middle where the rot was - I kept the moss away from that area.

sounds like I have it in the right kind of pot, just wish I had not forgone the styrofoam

I wish I knew where to get more pots like this one. this is what the orchids from Aldi's came in, and based on all that I'm reading, these sound like they're really good for it.
