Help - orchid after root rot
Good day,
Well, my problem is - i replanted my orchid - phalaenopsis - and it did have severe case of root rot - only one root was saveable - i replanted it in bark medium for orchids - but some damage started to show and i dont know what is it - i tried to identify, but couldnt... can you help me please? And what i should do? The wound started as slightly mushy and discolored spot and evolved to this - from underside of leaf it is lookthrough - very thin place, at the crown there is some damage too, and at other leaf there is something too...
Please can you help me?

Looks like cold damage? I mean honestly, they look like minor blemishes and my plants (not orchids) get them all the time on their leaves when I (mess) around with their lighting or ambient temps. But someone with a background in orchids should double check my assessment

I agree with your assessment. I don't think it's anything you should stress over.( However, while the world uses the "f" word, many of us here find it extremely offensive, please adjust your posting accordingly. And thank you in advance).

The leaves look very healthy, for having such severe root rot. How about a picture of the roots, or lack of roots. Bottom part of plant.

the root is really in bad shape - it is black now ,because i used (how it is called? coal? wood coal? somewere i read it should be used on wound after cutting to prevent illneses getting through the wound) that little root at second screenshots is all that was saveable:I it was greenish in color, and i did see it through bark - spotted difference in color-softinnes over one night so went to check and needed to snip half of it - this is last piece of root

I can't believe the leaves look that good with no roots. Well here's to hoping it will start some new ones soon. Is there any way you can get some kelp to help with the root growth?

I also can't believe how nice those leaves look in comparison to base. Good Grief. It's why I asked for a picture. Do you know how to sphag and bag? Or put in a vase with water, no part of plant actually touching?
