so.. yesterday i was repotting all of my new plants. i got to my orchid and its roots were a mix of green, yellow, white, and black. i thought the yellow meant bad so i chopped those off including the white and black. i now realize the error of my actions and the roots have become a root and a nub. what do i do
you cross your fingers and wait — it doesn’t look like you left any roots at all 😅 in future green & silver are good, healthy roots. green are hydrated, silver are ready for water

I'd put some rooting hormone in the water and hope for the best
