Saving rootless orchids can prove to be dificult for orchid begginers, but it does not need to be. There are a lot of methods to save orchids, but I usually prefer the no hassle method. Keep in mind that no amount of trouble you put yourself through, in order to save your rootless orchids will not be succesfull if that particular orchid is too far gone, if it is not a strong individual. The rootless cattleya orchid in this video was very, very shriweled, it did not had any roots, nor new growths. I did not had my hopes high, as it is a seedling with only 3 psb and 2 leaves, that at some point were almost paper thin.
So what I did was to put it deeper in the pot, to make sure it is not wabbly, and kept the reservoir in the semi hydro - self watering pot quite high in level, and just left in on a shelf. After a few months I saw the psbs were plump, and a little leaf was poking out though the media. Needless to say, my surprise was huge to see I have actually 3 new growths.
Now, there new growths won't be big, but they will ensure the future life of the orchid, by providing a brand new rooth system.
