Please help! I’m pretty new to plants. Does anyone know about growing orchids in water? My orchid was struggling from the beginning with lots of root rot. After its bloom I chopped off the stem and read about orchids doing well in water. I thought it would be worth a try. When I made the switch I had to chop off most of the roots because they were squishy and dark green/almost black. I pretty much only have one long root and one short root left. The plant has become slightly less wrinkled but other than that there’s been no change in about a month. A new leaf has sprouted but isn’t growing. Any input?

    I keep my orchids in orchid bark in a clear plastic container allowing me to see the roots. Orchids don’t like water getting into their root where the growth happens so try to avoid water there as if it gets in it’s prone to rot the growth. I hope this helps. But perhaps give it a bit of fertilizer like a low low dose.

    Fun fact: Orchids actually grow on trees so orchid bark and watering slowly are your best options. Some people like to use ice but I don’t suggest this as it’s cold water and will shock your plant
