Cattleya Green Emerald almost dead

[SADE2020]

Dear Friends

At the end of last year a friend asked me to help him repot a Cattleya that he had ordered from the worse vendor in Europe. I did what I could and potted with bark and carbon as Pic 1, but the plant was in very bad condition, despite that it produced 2 roots and I thought that it was recovering properly and I handed it back to him. Yesterday he brings it to me againg, this times like "here this is for you I don't want this craxxx thing and unpoted (pic 2 &3) .. The two roots didn't continue to developed as you can see, they just stop, must roots are really damage and I understand that for that reason the plant leaves are super deshidratated... The Cattleyas are not my strong point, so I am not sure what to do with it.

My weather condition at this moment is warm with lot of air circulation, I am watering the rest of Cats every 2 days since they dry fast. (I actually took lights measures of the 3 different covered section we have.

Could you advise me please.

Repot in Nov.20


Now
