Thank you! Your response is very encouraging. I did not contact the grower because I know I can pull the phalaenopsis through since it has so much other root growth, but I underestimated the condition of the catt. Honestly, I had never bought an orchid from a grower and assumed that since they are in a greenhouse bugs and so forth are pretty common. There is probably less of an excuse for all of the root rot. They ran to the back and gave me the catt for free because I spent $45 on the phal. I thought they were so helpful and pleasant for letting me talk to them and walk through their greenhouses so I never contacted them about the plants. If the plant is responding well to either treatment, how long do you think it will take for new roots to appear?
