Help
 
Hi I am from India,and a very hot summer ended now.
My orchids, mostly dendrobium suffered a lot.
I have realized that the roots are damaged (due to over watering) and the stems look shriveled. One has turned brown.
I found on net that, one has to soak the plants in water/preparation.
but I am not sure for how long and how many times per week. How many times to mist te plants.
Now it is raining and it is 80% humidity with temperature around 35 degree C.
Will Kiki Pro help in developing new roots.

Please guide,
I will upload pics if needed.

Dev.

With that temperature and humidity, I would think that they would recover nicely without additional effort on your part.

Keikipro is for sparking growth and the formation of keikis, not roots. You need a rooting hormone concoction like SuperThrive, K-L-N, or the like for that.

By the way, overwatering, per se, is not the cause of root rot. Suffocation is. Sounds like you need to use a more "open", airy medium.
