Help my Miltoniopsis seems to be dying

[estación seca]

The roots you cut off look like they might have been alive to me. I strongly recommend people not cut off roots. It can be very hard to tell which are alive and which are dead. Miltoniopsis without roots are very hard to keep alive.

I'm not sure the velamen of the root just came off very easily when I pressed. I might have very well cut off some of the good roots. It was so hard to separate them out they are tangled up and unlike phal roots these are so thin. I was just afraid to keep the rotting roots in case they are effected by the rotting fungus/bacteria and it can spread in the new medium.
