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.
Depending on the diameter of the vents and the wind speed outdoors, the turbines can expel vast quantities of humid air before it becomes a problem. A small 12-inch diameter turbine vent with a constant wind speed of 5 miles per hour can remove 347 cubic feet of air per minute (cfm) from the attic space. A single 14-inch diameter turbine vent that is subjected to 15 mph winds can expel up to 1,342 cfm of air.
