I was gifted this white phal orchid for easter a week ago. I knew it was a grocery store plant so I wasn't expecting it to be perfect, however two of the leaves started rotting so I removed them and covered the cuts with cinnamon. The flowers started developing spots or holes so I decided I wanted to take a look at the roots. That's when I discovered that the plant was planted in a plastic pot that was glued inside a ceramic pot, with no drainage in the ceramic pot. These are what the roots look like. Is it root rot? You might not be able to see in the picture, but some of the roots are spotty, yellow and almost look like there's mold on them. The roots inside the pot look alright, but some on top of the pot look like they've collapsed or shriveled. Is it rot or something else? I haven't watered it yet.
