Poor Orchid.  Not sure what to do!
Default Poor Orchid. Not sure what to do!

I have an orchid, a Phal I think that I was put in charge of taking care of while my partner is overseas.

Several months ago I was watering and saw a roach swim out of the bark, so I decided it might be a good idea to repot. When I did, I noticed that the roots were either rotten or decomposing. I cleaned a set of scissors and removed dead and rotting roots which left only aerial roots.

Recently, after some browsing of this forum and others, I decided to try and improve the health of this orchid. I've purchased Kelpmax in an attempt to improve root health, staked the orchid and have put a little moss (around perimeter of pot) to help improve moisture. The leaves are still wrinkly and I'm not seeing any signs of new growth.

Currently: I am misting the aerial roots with water when they appear dry (silvery). It has spent most of its life in the bathroom, but I have moved it to another location when the weather gets colder.

The plant has sentimental value and I am hoping to save it. Any advice is appreciated!
