Meh – I once brought a Phal back with just 2 tiny roots about the size of the one you have. The foliage doesn’t look terrible. I’d give it a shot. 🤷♀️

Welcome to my world of rotten roots . I have never been able to bring mine back from this state but others who did not rot their orchids roots to begin with will tell you of course . Good luck . I’ve tried it all . Get another one if you’re not sentimental about this one bc it’ll take a long time before it blooms again .

I would stick that guy in some sphagnum moss.

Never hurts to try, sphagnum works but you may have a rot issue with sphagnum. I use leca like a semi hydro kind of system.
Don’t bury it in there but (with both sphagnum and leca) just kind of lay it on top.
If you’re using leca just keep a small water reservoir at the bottom. Don’t let it dry out.
