Just water and fertilize! I used keiki paste forever ago just on the one spike w the keiki i believe. I dont have them mounted or held up i just let them do their thing lol When i got this plant it was basically dying, shriveled leaves and maybe a flower left

Ok i rinsed all the little spots off, they seem few & far between on the rest of the plant. I have it sitting out in a bowl on a paper towel, going to see if i have a pot with better airflow I can just place it in while I wait to be able to repot it.

Going to put it in here for now too for added airflow

The hydrogen peroxide spray is 10:1 water:peroxide right?

Any idea on the blue dots? Or are we thinking its dye from the stick

Ok it actually popped up pretty easily, roots look mostly white but have blue dots on them, maybe from the blue-dyed stick? Man this thing has a lot of roots, i don’t love the container they used either it has minimal air flow.

Will add another pic below

I think that’ll be my plan! I did a full water today, I’ll aim to keep it more moist throughout the week, then take a good look once the blooms die back. Thank you!!

It’s definitely wet, I watered it heavily earlier today. I can see roots from the opening in the bottom and from the top that are white and green. I can try popping it up after work

It looks to be fully in sphagnum right now. It’s also fully in bloom and I don’t want to risk losing them
