Hi,
I am an orchid beginner. I moved with my partner recently, and he had a tiny orchid from years ago, that was not blooming. I thought repotting would help. But then when I took it out, I saw that all the roots where mushy and dead. I cut them, and only few dried out aerial roots remained. I then repotted it in a larger pot, with orchid potting mix from garden center. At the time the orchid had two tiny leaves, and after few weeks one died. After 2.5 months, it still had no rooting activity.
I also repotted at the same time a bigger orchid, which also had root rot, but as you see in the pictures, that one is showing some rooting. Maybe my repotting is wrong? that was my first ever attempt at it.
Since two days ago, I have tried putting it in water in a plastic bag, with the hope that hydration helps, but I don't know if this is actually helpful. To be honest, I also don't now which type of orchid is that, given that it has not bloomed since I came to this house. But I really want this tiny one to survive. What should I do? is it even possible? or should I just give up?
Than you so much for your help!
