# I bought 3 mini orchids and put them in a water culture like I’ve…

I bought 3 mini orchids and put them in a water culture like I’ve done with an orchid I’ve had for 6 years now. One of the mini’s has mold/fungus? On its roots. It’s fuzzy like mold would be. How can I save the little guy? The water has evaporated so it should be drying out.

Cut the molded roots off, give him a good soak in some hydrogen peroxide water

Keeping them in water is a new transition and u can also keep hydrogen peroxide in their every day water too

Any damaged roots will mold over, but the new roots it grows should be less prone to the mold as they are accustomed to the new environment
