I repotted it in orchid moss, soaked the moss before doing so and put the whole plant in an old juice bottle and poked drainage holes at the bottom. The roots are green now and the leaves seem to be really healthy. But should I help the plant straighten out that curled leaf?
I think I should be watering it once the roots turn silver but I could be wrong. Should I give it that foul smelling fertilizer stuff yet? I have a spot for it in moderate to bright indirect light and under a uv light at night. Also I KNOW the ice cube watering thing is bullshit lol, I worked in a greenhouse recently.

Ice chips on top weekly for watering
I would personally cut some holes in the sides as well to promote airflow among the roots.
Moss in a plastic bottle will suffocate the roots, they need to air dry between waterings. Bark is better

They like a low dose of liquid orchid fertilizer.
I might be irrelevant here. I have a similar orchid without a stem. It only has large and healthy leaves. Can it grow a stalk and bloom someday?
