THIS AIR ROOT IS TELLING YOU 👀
Not all orchid roots belong inside the pot.
Air roots are completely normal, and they're full of clues about your orchid's health.
Here's what to look for:
🟢 Healthy green = Well hydrated and actively growing
⚪ Healthy silver = Dry but healthy, ready for water
〰️ Wrinkled = Dehydrated
💔 Broken = Physically damaged
🟤 Dry = Dead or no longer functioning
⚫ Rotting = Too much moisture or poor airflow
Don't cut an air root just because it's outside the pot.
First, learn what it's trying to tell you.
Your orchid is talking...
