Hi. Apparently, every orchid I try to grow gets rotten roots. i plant in gravel and pine bark. The roots keep getting mushy and rot off. I know its a sign of overwatering, but how do I get the medium to dry out fast enough, when I have really high humidity? I even have a fan to circulate, and they still rot in my frog tank.
Also, I recently got a Oncidium intergeneric hybrid and a stanhopea. Both have pretty much lost their roots, and it looks like the stanhopea's not going to make it. (then again, there wasn't much to it to begin with).
Is there ANYTHING I can do to save them? There's still a chance I can save the oncidiums. How fast do orchid roots grow back?!?
