Hi everyone! I’m caring for my first non-Phalaenopsis orchid and I’m a little puzzled about the white growths shown here. When I contacted support, they indicated these were typical roots, but they don’t look like any orchid roots I’m used to. Can someone confirm? Also, not sure if the dried out brown husk looking stuff around the leaf stems is something that is normal or if it indicates a problem? Should I be removing it? Finally, I know this guy is a little bit under watered at the moment, but I am working on that so that the leaves hopefully will bounce back from looking so wrinkly on short order. Thanks in advance for any tips!

    Ooooh! I have a Shin Shang Diamond too! Had it as a seeding for about 3 years now. You can absolutely (GENTLY) remove the dried sheaths. But not strictly necessary. I’d leave the one on the new growth as it serves as a natural protection for the tender new pseudobulb. By white growths, do you mean the new roots at the base of the newest pseudobulbs? They look like roots with no new root tips, meaning they have just dried out and stopped growing. Keep working on the hydration, but know that the leaves may never completely lose that texture. The pseudobulbs will plump up, but they too may never be completely full and glossy. The new ones will be fine though.
