Orchids in water culture

It sounds like your plant could recover with enough humidity in the environment such as a greenhouse or shaded, warm place in the yard in a lot of different media commonly used for Catts. The key thing is whether the new growth can still grow new roots or if there is potential to grow a new lead.

I use water culture because I grow in the house and my humidity is seldom high enough to help a plant to survive without a lot of healthy roots. It usually takes much longer for the plant to go through such a major transition to grow radically different kinds of roots. However, my only other choices are some type of orchidarium setup or sphag and bag neither of which appeals to me at this time.
