Pas de racines fonctionnelles, juste pour s'accrocher.
Forme façon de pousser, fleurs sur longues tiges...

How do you tell if an orchid has root rot? For reference, check out the image below. This is a dendrobium that has pretty rotten roots.
It also has a fire ant nest in the roots (see the little orange stuff bunched up near the center bottom). And I also found a flatworm curled up in its roots 🫣
Dendrobium seem to mostly prefer being up in the canopy, and I had left this one on the ground, so it got fully waterlogged, even though the stems and leaf seemed to still be green and perky.
I shook out the ants, killed the flatworm, and set it in the nook of a tree with moss covering its roots. It'll be a slow recovery, but I think it will make it.
