What to do if roots are rotten?

The roots look okay. You can soak it daily until you’re ready to repot. If it’s just dead roots rotting, I let nature take its course. If the tissue is dead it’s going to decay.

You may also want to remove the bag to improve air circulation. You should be able to keep the plant hydrated enough with a daily soak. You may be creating opportunities for infections to take hold by keeping it continuously wet without air circulation.

A certain amount of root death is to be expected when switching growing methods. Older, damaged, or unhealthy roots often die on me when I go from moss to bark for example. Phals are slow so whenever you make a change there’s going to be a long adjustment period.
