    Angry Damaged dendrobium needs HELP!

    In the building where I work had a dendrobium growing mounted on a palm branch, in a small garden. Nobody knows who put it on there. A couple of weeks ago I saw three spikes coming and each day I glanced it to see how it’s going… I’m growing fond of it .
    The buds have been growing very fast and I’s eagerly waiting for the blooming.
    To my surprise (bad) this afternoon when I went to see it….someone wrung out it … and I don’t know how, planted in the ground ?????? for what?
    I was furious.
    perhaps an unsuccessful attempt to steal the Orchid.

    The buds look very healthy, so I took it to my house and don’t know what may be best to save the buds and future flowers. Poor dendro!!!!
    I’d be very happy if I could do the best for this miserable and hurt orch.
    Should I mount it, or better cover the roots with moist sfagno and wait….. someone help me with some advice?
    When it's ok again (if), I'll return it to its original place.
    Some pics : the roots appear seriously damaged and the buds are about to bloom
