Urgent paph question!

[Edward Brookes]

I recently had a similar problem, paphs in coco husk were found to have no live roots, as a last ditch attempt to save them, I cut off all the dead material & I put them in a container with plain tap water just covering the bases of the plants & tried to forget them. Within 1 month a new root was visible on each plant. I potted them into fresh mix ( NOT coco husk) & 2 months down the line, they seem to be doing well. The leaves are all firm & new growth is evident on some of the plants.
