Phalenopsis Orchid Leaves Shrink started water cullture
 
3 Attachment(s)
Hi
I had a lot of root rot. SO I changed to new medium (as per the suggestion given by people in this forum) and the leaves started to shrink but it had 2 roots with black tip so I started water culture today ( 11/26/2016) . I am not sure whether to start water culture because it has 2 roots with black tip. Please advice. I am attaching photos.
Earlier I have saved an Orchid with water culture but it did not have any roots before water culture
Thanks
Kanaka

you are already doing the best you can for this plant. Right now the condition is rather bad, so lets just keep our fingers crossed and hope it grows some new roots. Also, did you add any root stimulants?

Thank You for the reply.
I got kelp ( green kelp from home depot) planning to add it today.
I am planning to get hydrogen peroxide and gently wash the roots with it for fungus.
