I did to one that had root rot chopped the whole bottom off and it’s doing so much better!

Oh god that looks so much healthier than what I had going on beforehand too! How often do you change water??

I leave water in it for 4 days and 3 days no water (fri, sat, sun) is easiest for me to remember to dump the water out on Friday and put water in on Monday❣️ the roots will turn the dry gray color then juicy green in the water! I try to put some fertilizer water like just a drop of the already deluded fert in it monthly for a little boost

I saved one of my orchids by putting it in water and then when it was healthy again I transplanted back into a pot, it’s doing great.
