When I first got my Moth Orchid, the roots were nice and green. Now, the roots are green..but they have weird brown scabs on them. (And by roots I mean the roots above-soil) please help, what’s going on?!

Your orchid has gotten root rot and you need to address this immediately. Repot your orchid into new fresh orchid bark, trim off dead roots and use a clear pot with lots of drainage.

Does it work if I just don’t water the moth orchid for like a week even after it’s silver?
