# Can anyone help me with water propagation for this sick Mini orchid?…

_Posted by Michelle’s Hobby on 2025-09-28_

Can anyone help me with water propagation for this sick Mini orchid? I kept it in the moss bark for too long and when I checked the roots looked like this. Can anyone tell me how to keep it alive??

This is nice. I’m trying the moss idea. Upside down is forever and I don’t have anywhere to hang it.

I hope someone tries it 🧡 prob won't be me either 💁🤣 I have mine in the Monterey rePotme orchid mix, but with the moss on top because that's how it came and that's what it was used to when I didn't want to shock it so mine's got Moss on top and she's super happy she doesn't stop blooming 🧡
