Soo I repotted my orchid in February. It’s been a while and it hasn’t fully recovered because the ends of its roots seem blackened and shriveled. People on Planta assured me this is fine and after accidentally waiting too long to water it which lead to its leaves wrinkling, I watered it. The roots became green but didn’t really plump up but the leaves condition did improve. I watered it yesterday and it’s the same deal. The roots don’t seem to be taking in any water because like an hour later they’re completely silver and still shriveled (not just on the ends) but my orchid isn’t dead…so is this ok? And I was thinking since I have fungus gnats on my orchid I wanted to bottom water but there aren’t enough roots for me to do that. Could I literally just soak the roots in water for a few seconds instead of watering the soil?
