Repot in orchid Bark. Make sure you donβt have any dirt/soil/rot reside left on it though. Donβt cut anything off unless itβs hard like a stick. The outer layer is just a protecting layer over the βfingersβ that are what the plant needs. So unless itβs shriveled and dead dead donβt trim it off. What inside that itβs protecting might still be ok. Repot with that green aerial root OUT of the bark mix, water it good, drain it really good, then tuck it away for a week or two. These do great with little fuss and donβt like to be bothered but repotting usually gives me a new leaf, root, and flower set.
