Cracked and shriveled aerial roots

[lindasbabies]

I just looked at my phals and it seems the soaking for an hour by submerging the pots in water has helped. The aerial roots and the little baby roots are all bright green and less shriveled! I moved them to a south facing window but no sun touches them. There’s also a fan in there moving air so maybe this has helped. I’m cautiously optimistic. Thanks everyone!

I don’t want to take my almost rootless out of their pots again because I don’t want to disturb them again to take pictures. If you can just imagine an orchid with just the beginnings of roots sticking out under it, that’s what they look like. One of the phals has one longer root but that’s it.
