Have you resurrected a paph?

I'm not quite sure where everyone is coming up with "rootless plant". I think the roots are okay. It was the leaves I was loosing.

Also, what do you mean by "fresh" superthrive, because I bought some in the spring and haven't opened it yet. So is that still fresh? Is there a relative date you can use from point-of-purchase to determine if it's still good or not? Thanks.
