New to Orchids - Root Concerns
Default New to Orchids - Root Concerns

I have been interested in orchids for a year or so now but was always afraid to take the plunge. For Valentine's Day this year my husband surprised me with one from the supermarket. I have read many times that this is not the best place to purchase orchids, but want to give the pretty little guy the best chance possible!

My biggest concern is the roots. The plant is clearly too large for the pot and has two flower spikes.

I am hoping the picture shows this clearly. There is a dark green discoloration on the root at the crown? Any advice is greatly appreciated!
