    Default den help, please

    Hi,
    I've had this den several months....almost a yr. (pics) It seemed healthy for quite some time, but then it seemed as if it was going downhill. A couple or so weeks ago, the leaves slowly started to yellow and develop dark splotches. I unpotted it and found that apparently somewhere along the line, I had been overwatering it because all the roots were rotten. I then trimmed them totally off and repotted the plant in sphag, in the basket you see, in hopes that my orchid would re-root. I was taking inventory today and decided to ask for your thoughts and advice. Do you think I can save it, and if so, how would you suggest I try?

    I would very much appreciate your help,
    Vicki
