phal with air roots only

[Orchid Whisperer]

It is a bit odd that you are asking for advice but seem reluctant to follow much of the advice offered so far.

1. Take the advice to repot and try to get most of the roots into the pot. A slight break in the middle of the root is less of a problem than you might think. The break is likely just going through the spongy velamen, not through the stele at the center of the root.

2. Coconut husk is known to be quite salty which can inhibit root growth. Before putting the medium back in the pot, pick out all of the coconut husk. Soak the husk in very clean water, wrap it in an old towel, place it on the floor ( or sidewalk, etc.), step on it to squeeze out the water. Do this at least 4 times to get rid of excess salt.

3. Wait two days after repotting before watering again. This allows any broken roots time to heal before getting wet, reducing the chance of root rot.

4. When you water, do not mist. Either do full watering (lots of water running through the pot), or don't water. If you are using clear pots, water when roots are silvery in appearance, or no condensation is visible inside the pot. Don't water when the roots are green. If you use an opaque pot, use the skewer method mentioned previously to check the moisture in the medium. The goal is to water when the medium is nearly dry but not quite.

Other than seaweed (kelp) extract I'm not sure what natural root growth promoters to recommend. There is a search function on this forumyou might try using that.

well you are right I wanted and didnt want advices but I made a mistakes and I ll do what you are saying since my way didnt help.

I l report my orchid and try to put two more air roots into the ground and rinse my coco husk.

and I wont mist my orchid only full water it.

what will I don with the air roots that I cant get in ?

If you soak the roots in water for 2-3 hours, they will be more flexible, and it will be easier to bend them into the pot.

Your temperatures and relative humidity outside now are great for Phalaenopsis orchids. Keep it out of the sun. They are shade plants, and will burn in the sun.

After you repot the plant, water it by completely soaking the entire pot and all the medium. Let it drain. Then, use the skewer method to determine when to water again. You can read about that here:

Using skewers to determine when to water

Then, when it is time to water again, completely soak the pot and the medium. With humidity like yours, don't mist the leaves with water. It won't help them. It might promote fungus attack.

If you can't get the last couple roots in, don't worry about it. Just get them wet when you water.

I tinsed the coco husk
the media ia:
60% bark at the bottom and 40% coco husk at the upper part
its a bit mixed but thata ehat I did to increase humidity.

I managed to put 5 air roots inside .
the good news is that the previous 2 air roots that was in the media didnt die.

well lets see ehat summer brings...

I could have in warm days 35 38 degree c with 80 humidity will it hurt my orchid?

Phals love warm, humid weather. That will be great. Remember, no sun.

At my home we experienced over 38 C yesterday. This is not unusual here, and my Phalaenopsis grow just fine. When temperatures do cool down, it will encourage flower spike formation. Yours should do well. As estacion seca said, no sun, keep it shaded. At those hot temperatures, you should expect to water more often.
