Orchid sitting in water root rot

[Mike Conowingo]

Hello all as the title states. We have an orchid I bought from Home Depot. We at some point over watered it and it has been sitting for some time in water. Yesterday,When I lifted the plant out there was smelly dark water. I then emptied the plant and material and began to trim the mushy rotten roots.

For growing medium i realize this will have some feedback. I went and got pine bark from standing dead on my property. I baked it in the oven at 275 for 3+ hours. After I broke it up into smaller pieces and boiled it for 20 mins. Flushed that with cold water and soaked for an hour. Replanted after drilling vent holes into plastic container. After I let it dry some and replanted I made a very lite fertilizer mix.

Today we set the plant outside under a bench out of the sun and I just brought it back in and took some pictures. I will continue to monitor and look for problems with the plant and the growing medium. Should I let it completely dry out or keep it damp. Right now the top 1/3 layer is dry and bottom 2/3 seems damp.

I don't have any pics of before tonight to show damage . I tried to upload pictures but seems something went wrong.

Any advice for picture uploading? Thanks for any and all advice
Mike
