Its tough, but yes. Phals are able to photosynthesis through thier roots. So, mounted ones can survive. If the roots are in a pot away from the light, then its difficult for them to photosynthesis.

The roots do hold some energy that the plant can use to make a new growth or kieki. Be patient, and don`t let it stay to wet.

Without roots is the same deal. It can use energy produced in the leaves to make roots. But if humidity is super low, then its difficult for the leaves to live.

Either way, its probably better for you to buy a new plant. Unless this one is really special.
