Need help saving Aerangis Fastuosa with black roots

[thisisirene]

Hello, Irene here. This is my first post on the OrchidBoard and want to say I'm thrilled to join the community!

I'm posting about a brand new Aerangis Fastuosa (my first Aerangis ever) I just bought and received in the mail yesterday. The poor thing arrived with four leaves, one of which is wrinkled and another that was torn. The real problem is the roots, which are all yellowing or already black.

I'd really like to save the little guy but I'm just not sure where to start. I've heard that mounting the plant might be the best thing to save it (I work from home so can commit to regular misting throughout the day) and was thinking of mounting it with some live moss. I've also heard I should cut off all the bad roots.

Is this the right/wrong approach? Does anyone have experience with this condition of plant and restoring it to health? Would appreciate any and all advice, thank you!
