Thanks everyone, so much for all of your help and input! The orchid came in this pitcher as a gift. It is actually planted in a small plastic pot with airholes in the bottom, like you suggested. I've taken it out of the pitcher in case there was any moisture left in it... I never let water remain after each watering, though in the bottom of the pot. I'm going to repot it this evening, removing the "sick" roots. I'll let you know how it goes!
As for the new growth yes the tip was a little brownish. It has grown more since, though with only a pretty green color. Hopefully my Den will make it!
