Aerangis punctata buds? Male
Default Aerangis punctata buds?

I ordered my new Aerangis punctata in June; it arrived on 29th. Looked bad, a lot of dead roots and connected to some....mesh sponge? i don't know what it is, but wasn't looking fresh and new. Since i was mounting it with moss anyway, i decided to leave the roots as is, only removing excess mesh-thing for easier handling. The cluster had split into two, and it seems not to be dying?? But today i found this out; i had seen some growth a day or two ago, but since i haven't looked up closed, i dismissed it as roots at first glance.

My experience with this orchid is non existent; she's my training dummy if you will. Could anyone tell me what exactly the growths to the front are?

Can't see it clearly. But the plant will tell you soon. Patience! And good save!

I think you refer to a brownish coarse sponge? This seems to be a new potting medium for nurseries.
I leave it as it is. It's airy and dries fast.
It will last forever.

The first time I saw this I tried to remove as much as possible damaging the roots and causing a severe setback for the plant.

It made it extremly difficult to mount. Also, i can't really use things that dry too fast; my enviroment forbids it. Anything less retentive than sphagnum moss requires daily watering.
