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??

Rinse off as much soil as possible with water, being careful not to get water on/in the crown. Dip or briefly soak only the roots in hydrogen peroxide. Suspend it in water so the crown stays dry. The main concern while it recovers is root rot. If you're not familiar with caribg for plants in water, you can grow it in perlite instead since that won't grow mold

0개 좋아요I tried to remove the oval black spot on the stem and accidentally sit off the whole stem. Well, that one’s a goner. I have a hard time with mini orchids for some reason??? My full size phals are great and healthy. Wonder what is different about them??

좋아요 1개How wonderful. Thank you for sharing that. Next time it happens to me I’ll try that. I’m great with the normal size pals. But I’m not good with minis. I still have 2. Pray I they will live!!
좋아요 1개Amy, do you use the power rooting hormone or the gel?
0개 좋아요I’m using a liquid not the powder stuff. I’ve tried the powder and it doesn’t seem to work as well for me. I’ve used the liquid on various indoor and outdoor plants and get better success
