Trim any blackened or rotten parts of the stem with sterilized scissors.
Rinse the orchid gently under lukewarm water.
Fill a clear container with 2–3 cm of filtered water.
Place the orchid so that only the base touches the water—not submerged.
Put the container in a warm, bright location (but no direct sunlight).
Change the water every 2–3 days to prevent rot.
Wait and observe—new roots may appear in 2 to 4 weeks.
