orchid rescue
Default

This reminds me of my orchid Stubby. Except mine has only one root.

A few days ago it started to push out a new leaf. Today I noticed no less than 3 new bumps at the base which are likely to turn into new roots.

My orchid had root rot when I bought it. Only the aerial roots were still alive. After cutting off the dead roots and repotting (and burying) the aerial roots, it was not long before even the aerial roots had rotted away.

It did not turn itself around until I removed it from growing medium entirely.

Stubby now grows on a stick suspended over wet sphagnum for humidity. He lives inside a large glass vase (/fish bowl?) with an open top in an east window. I drop him, stick and all, into the aquarium every other day for 5-10 mins. When I take him out, he gets the upside-down treatment until he dries.

He has responded favorably :-)
