Itâs a good sign that the leaves are still in rather good condition considering the root health. An orchid with minimal to no roots is worrisome, but we have lots of tricks we can try to get it to sprout new ones. In fact, my wife has been in this exact predicament with several of her rescue orchids. Root rot can happen so quickly sometimes. The good news is that you can still save an orchid with few to no roots!
If the temperature is higher that -20Â° vs. outside temp, look for areas where air may be getting in and heating the house. However, with the thermostat set to cool, the air coming out of the air escape should be between 45-60Â°F. Locate the vent. In some cases they may be on the floor, wall, or ceiling. For vents on the ceiling, the IR-IND allows you to gauge temperature (from a distance) as it leaves the vent.
External case temperature should always be below 27*C (80*F), with the best temperatures around 18*C (65*F). Internal air temperature should be around 40*C (104*F), except for heatsinks, which require lower temperatures. <br /><br /> As long as you're using fans, don't be worried until case air temperature exceeds 55*C(130*F).
