| I repotted my orchid a little while ago and upon looking it over tonight, I noticed some of the roots don't look very good. It may be hard tell in the picture, but the roots have a very gray hue to them. I'm very worried that this may be root rot. Can this plant be salvaged? |

| The short answer is NO. The new leaf looks OK and the roots might have a green tinge if they were just watered. Of course, the plant does not look in optimum condition but it surely will pick up once spring arrives. |

| Phal roots are grey! Jane |

| Jane, they can be grayish green. When you water them they will turn a brighter green. I think that plant will do just fine, and is far from a lost cause. |

| Great news to hear! Thanks for the replies! |
