Q.I have just received a miltonia from a friend and it’s got issues
So I don’t know anything about Miltonias and for some reason I’m having a hard time finding information about them. I did find out that when I received it it had been overwatered so I haven’t watered it at all for a week or so and the roots already look like they’re starting to be more white vs brown. Now some of the roots are going up and theres thin little pieces coming out of the tops. I didn’t think this type of orchid got roots like that. Some of the longer roots that are still in the soil have those little growths too and I’m thinking that’s a good thing? There are buds on the stem that is still healthy and it looks. The other stem completely turned brown and that one is the one that had full blooms when I got it. I cut that one off just to before where it looks like there may be new blooms eventually? I just need help in general?
