Root Sealant?

[Styx]

What is the sealant I should use on the orchid roots after they're clipped?

[Tanya]

I never use any sealant on roots if they are broken or clipped. All I have to do is provide them more air. Sometimes I dip the roots and the plant in fungicide solution but only in severe case of root rot.

Just curious, why are you clipping the roots? And which type of orchids?

[Styx]

Clipping off dead ones/parts of course. And it's for a Phal and a Paph.

What is the fungicide you use? My Phal got an infection because I didn't have any and I'm worried it will get another or it'll get worse or something. It had some asty rot because the store put it in water.

I use Physan, I know others use Daconil or Cleary's, but I am not sure if they use them on roots - they're pretty strong. Louis would know.

[LJA]

I don't use any sealant or fungicide on roots at all. Like Tanya, I just let them air dry. They'll scab over within half an hour if you leave them exposed to air.

Okay. :3
