Today I will talk you through my ICU setup that I use whenever I am dealing with sick, rootless orchids.
▼▼▼More info below!▼▼▼
There are many ways in which we can assist orchids recover and create new roots, from all the things I tried along the years this is what I prefer.
The general idea is to provide moisture and water without over doing it, or drowning any existing roots. I prefer sphagnum moss as medium, here is a more detailed video on how to properly use it https://youtu.be/RcCqd3FEWpA
The moisture can be achieved by a full pot of moss, a top layer if moss like I show here https://youtu.be/pmPXOfyDW1g or a jar with some moss at the bottom.
If humidity lacks, a container can be used to increase humidity, such as I provided here https://youtu.be/tCaL7mpy6TY
