Default
Another cause of root rot besides overwatering is too large a pot. The orchids should be in a pot just big enough to accommodate their roots and a bit more for growth. Too much medium and not enough roots to use the moisture will stay too wet and the roots will rot. Besides, orchids bloom better with tight shoes.
