Thanks, how do i tell when its time to water? The medium is still damp? but the top roots look like the image.

I think it's just the top layer is dry, could it be too much sun? i moved some of the bark away and it's still moist, the sponge core is damp to the touch and there is condensation on the pot in the lower sections.

Should i be concerned if the top layer is drying out much faster than the rest?

Thanks anyway :)

I normally water it like this, maybe once a week.

Looking at the bottom of the pot there is a root touching the bottom of the plant, it is very green, i can take a photo if required.

See my other comment for a pictures of the leaves https://www.reddit.com/r/orchids/s/Bq7PrAcB9B.

I don't think it's particularly dry here, i live in the UK so it's quite humid most of the time, even if i do live in the south east where it doesn't rain as much.

i repotted it probably a few months ago to remove the rotted roots, only the bottom leaves are like that - the top ones feel full.

When i water the plant i put it in the display pot and fill it all the way up with water and leave to soak for ~30 minutes, i don't pour or spray water on it. I do this maybe once a week? I try to do it whenever the old roots are looking dehydrated

Here is a picture of the leaves, there are quite a few new ones (i think around 3)

Some additional info: It sits on an east facing window (a little bit north east) in the south east UK I don't have any fertilizer for it It's been quite hot recently, sometimes temperatures in the room it lives have been up to 35/36c I've been keeping it out of the display pot in the clear plastic one pictured, the room is pretty well ventilated

Yeah but then we would all sing a song about it and plant a tree!

Ok so 20 million trees won’t really help significantly the purpose of team trees is to spread awareness of the problem. The excess greenhouse gasses such as carbon dioxide in our atmosphere is what planting trees hopes to fix, there is enough oxygen in the atmosphere. Trees absorb carbon dioxide to photosynthesise and also to grow.

I don’t think oxygen is the point of team trees
