No green roots in months, growing keiki
Unhappy No green roots in months, growing keiki

Hi, I’ve had my phalaenopsis orchid for a few years now. It used to be very happy, and even bloomed for the second time last summer. Since then, I’ve repotted my plant several times because it had a fungus gnat issue, then rotting roots, then another fungus gnat issue, then more rotting roots... I ended up changing soil mixtures each time and am now using the classic repotme mixture. I used keiki paste for the first time late last summer after the first time repotting. I used to give her 2 cubes of ice a week, then saw on YouTube that I should actually soak her in water for 10 mins once a week, then saw that I kept over watering her, so I started giving her less water, but then her roots are drying... as you can probably guess, it’s been very difficult to find a healthy balance.

Now the keiki is still growing, but no roots yet. The parent plant’s leaves are drooping and the base of her crown is black/brown. There’s not a single GREEN root on the parent plant... is there anything I can do to save her? 😭
