The presence of aerial roots doesn’t necessarily mean your orchid needs repotting. Instead, focus on the health of these roots. The tips of healthy aerial roots should remain green. If they turn grayish, it’s a sign they might be drying out.

Reviving Dry Aerial Roots

If your aerial roots are drying out, here’s a simple remedy:

1. Fill a bowl with water.
2. Immerse the aerial root in the water.

This will provide the moisture the root needs, restoring its green vitality. Plus, the evaporating water will increase room humidity, which helps promote the plant’s growth.
