How do you get new roots to form? I have one with no roots but healthy leaves. It’s growing a new leaf but I can’t get it to grow any roots, that seems counterproductive to put energy into a new leaf to me 😖 idk how to help her, I’ve got it sitting over a bed of sphagnum moss that I keep moist. #### Miranda님이 2025-06-10에 답변했습니다. Dude I have no idea. I literally cut off all of its roots except that one because they rotted. I noticed one new root then another and then another while having it in this position and misting it daily ### Jneyman님이 2025-06-10에 댓글을 남겼어요. How rude!!! But yay?? Yeah, I’m always baffled when people are like “I dunno, I just ignored it” 😳 ### Ginger C님이 2025-06-10에 댓글을 남겼어요. I’m cracking up. ### Springvision님이 2025-06-11에 댓글을 남겼어요. They do grow very well in just water. It will flower if it gets the proper light in just water. #### Miranda님이 2025-06-11에 답변했습니다. That is actually what I am going to try when I get sufficient root growth! #### PorkChop 🐽님이 2025-06-11에 답변했습니다. no! no! no!!!! Orchids are arboreal plants! in nature, they need a LOT of oxygen to their roots (they grow on trees with their roots exposed to humidity). if you put it in water, not only will the plant be overwatered, causing it to rot, it will also suffocate. please plant it in orchid bark or mount it on a piece of bark with sphagnum moss. it will not survive in a cup of water for long… #### Springvision님이 2025-06-11에 답변했습니다. Can orchids be grown in just water? The plants' exotic flowers and characterful roots make them the perfect display piece. Widely known as water culture orchids, or hydroponic orchids, these plants can be cultivated by even a novice grower. The simple technique requires only an appropriate container, water, sterile tools, and a little patience. --- _Planta 커뮤니티 (https://getplanta.com). 누구나 읽을 수 있습니다. 게시물을 올리고, 댓글을 달고, 좋아요를 누르려면 Planta 앱을 다운로드하세요: https://getplanta.com/download_
