New Orchid - Help needed
Hi there,
The other day I lost an orchid after trying desperately to save it, I'm still not exactly sure why it died. I just got home with a new orchid because I missed the last one. I picked a 'mini' species because the normal sized ones available didn't have healthy roots (learned from my last experience). I think this one's healthy but would love some advice for my new beginning.
As soon as I got it home I took the clear pot out to see what was going on inside and it was PACKED in moss. So I took out all of the moss, cleaned up the roots and gave the plant a soak. As it was soaking (room-temp water) I picked out the smallest pieces of bark that had been soaking for a while and I drained them on a paper towel so they weren't sopping. I've replanted the plant and just wanted to make sure it looks okay. A couple roots in the center were a gross dark brown so I cut them back and put cinnamon on the tips (just the tips). And the two arial? roots look really good as far as I know.
Again, I just wanted to post to see what you think? I am as novice as they come
