Trouble with Orchids in water. I combined a new (gifted) orchid with my older orchid that I had for 2 years (never bloomed again after cutting stems) into this vase to experiment with water propagation. I made sure the water level was not touching the stem of each orchid. After repotting the gifted one I noticed it had white mold on roots and I sprayed with hydrogen peroxide. It has been two weeks like this and shown two photos of how they are looking. The gifted one doesn’t seem to being doing well as the roots are green BUT squishy. My other older orchid seemed to have caught the root rot? With the white fuzz around the stem but nonetheless the roots are still strong and green.

    When doing water culture with orchids, you can't leave them in a pool. The roots need to fully dry out between waterings, so you'd suspend the roots above your pool of water to keep air humidity high and then give the roots a soak about once a week. To treat these, cut away diseased roots with sterile cutters, treat with peroxide as needed (after the trim and then every 2-3 days if the rot persists.) Then just let the roots be in open air between waterings

      Also for checking which ones are diseased, id go by color in this case; they're all going to be squishy from being in water so long
