Many species of orchid has air roots and they actually will need all this air roots to thrive well. If you plan to separate that section of your plant.. wait until the roots are well grown on them, so that when the section is cut off from the mother plant, those roots are extensive enough to support the new plant. It is sometime a good idea to re-plant your orchid.... very often, you will encourage new growth and sometime flowering beside doubling your collection. Also do make sure that your cutting equipment are clean and sterilised and the open cut are treated with some kind of fungicide after the cut. Happy orchid planting This is normal for an orchid.

You could try making one out of artifical flowers to see. Good Luck!!

Keep the bark moist (I usually put mine under a soft spray of lukewarm water for a couple of minutes) Give them a bit of orchid food every couple of weeks, if the plant is healthy they sometimes start to develop buds on the green stems (I had a couple that re bloomed that way) If the stem does die back , keep maintaining the plant, they will produce some new leaves and if they are happy, they will bloom again.
