Multiple casualties -Paphiopedilum Maudii and No ID root rot rescue.

[aliceinwl]

I keep all my Paphs in a bark mix, but have had the best luck using sphagnum to recover those that have had root rot. If you have it, an overnight soak in a root stimulant like Kelpmax may be helpful. Then repot into sphagnum with an air gap at the bottom: you can use styrofoam peanuts to keep the gap. Put the whole pot and plant in clear container or plastic bag with some holes for ventilation. Put it in a spot with bright light but no direct sun. Water whenever the moss feels slightly damp/ almost dry. Be patient: it took months for mine to start pushing new roots. Avoid the temptation to unpot and look for signs of recovery. Good luck!
