paph with dead roots
Default pap with dead roots

I will repot them in moss with a seaweed watering to help regrow roots. I usually only run water thru the orchid pots that have a bark mix for 1 minute(overwatering concerns). I may soak them for ten minutes once a month. wish me luck. Advice is always welcome! Thanks

Using the skewer method can really help prevent over watering problems. I have a skewer in most of my orchid pots. Even when they appear dry, they are not always dry in the centre and bottom. And sometimes I think they should still be wet and they are bone dry. It removes any doubt as to what they are doing further down in the pot.

And yes, some seaweed might help.
