Roots dying

[Coolbabe]

I am having a very frustrating problem. The roots on most of my orchid roots grow about 1" then they die. This has just started recently. It doesn't seem to be rot because they are cracked and dry looking.

Something is wrong because I have 100 orchids and they are all doing the same thing. Water test came back everything is OK

Ok, you need to provide some information before anyone can help.

Post photos of a few of your orchids, in their medium and pot.

You say you tested your water, can you post all of the results?

What kind of orchids do you have? Provide as much info as you can about the care you provide (how you water, including how often. Do you use fertilizer, what kind, how much (tsp/gal and how often)?

Anything else you can tell us.
