Can this Cattleya with dried roots be saved?
Hoping to get advice about how to save a Cattleya I just bought. I bought the Cattleya about a week ago at an orchid sale, and it's labeled as a "SLC Circle of Life." This is my first Cattleya, and all my other orchids are Phals.
It was in a plastic container with holes, but I couldn't see the roots at the time of purchase. I took the orchid out of the pot today to check it's root health and discovered nearly all of the roots are dried out! Most are white, but a few are brown. The brown ones do not feel mushy, but instead feel dried out and hollow. There were 1 or 2 roots that had a bit of a green hue. The photos are of the plant after I water it, so hopefully the green-ish roots are visible.
I'm not sure if it's possible to save this orchid, and would appreciate any advice!
