Can this Lctna be saved?
 
I have a Lctna Happy Face that I bought in bloom in September. I made the mistake of re-potting it in November and now it is doing very poorly. Here are some photos:

I think it got severely dehydrated. Should I try sphag in a bag? It appears to have at least 1 new root and 1 new shoot.
Have I killed my first orchid?

Are all the old roots gone?

I would be inclined to leave it in it's pot, water a bit more and keep it in a warm sunny spot. You might try some root hormone with your water/fertilizer.

I agree with Joann! I wouldn't disturb it. Keep it in a warm sunny place...it already looks like it's doing it's thing for trying to recover. Plus that mature p-bulb next to it has a lot of juice left in it even thought the leaves look pretty dehydrated. Just keep a close eye on it and make sure it doesn't take a turn for the worst!

Thanks for the advice- I guess I have nothing to lose by watering it daily and keeping it under lights.

Connie, what is the conditions of the roots again? Any remaining old roots that are good other then the one new root?
