The orchid's roots rotted, yet several small shoots have sprouted - can it still survive?

If the orchid grows small shoots, it means the orchid's leaves are growing fairly well; when the orchid has no roots, it relies on the pseudobulbs and leaves to absorb nutrients.

Now let me talk about my own care method:

1. Clean up the orchid's rotted roots thoroughly, mix fungicide with water in a bucket and soak the whole plant for a while, then let it dry in a cool, shaded place for half a day.

2. Pot the orchid properly. It is best to use fresh orchid substrate; you can rinse it clean with water, then make use of the sun's ultraviolet rays to sterilize it, and let it dry slightly.

3. Water the day after potting. Water in the early morning or in the evening.

After that, keep the orchid's pot moist to prevent the leaves from dehydrating. About every 10 days or so, spray a rooting solution once. After about half a month, the plant's adjustment period is more or less over; at this point, apply light fertilizer frequently, and spray plenty of foliar fertilizer. Only when the small shoots get enough nutrients will they grow strong and their disease resistance improve.

After a month has passed, new roots will basically emerge. Over-fertilizing or overwatering an orchid will both cause root rot. To avoid root rot happening again, we must manage it purposefully, caring for and managing it normally in strict accordance with the orchid's habits.

The root rot problem is actually not that serious. Many old pseudobulbs have no roots, and I still peel them off and plant them one by one, and many of them can sprout.
