| You will not see green tips all year, only when the plant is actively growing. Dry white roots the rest of the year is normal.
Actually I do not see as much rot during this dormancy. The rot accentuates when the new roots are growing, probably because the plant no longer needs them. My fungus rot occurs in April every year. And if I do not clamp down on it fast I have big problems.
An interesting point, I have been noticing, is that most Cattleya put out new roots after flowering and then comes a new pseudobulb. When the pseudobulb is full grown out comes a new flower - about a year. Plants that have new growth about half the size of the full canes when the plant is in flower usually flower at least twice a year.
