Rootless orchid with new leaf, repeated soft rot infection, what's going on?
I rescued 2 Phals a month ago, they were in one pot. One of them had only 2 small good roots. I put it into full water culture. Both of the roots died and it lost most of its leaves. But today I noticed a new leaf growing. Is it a good sign, or it's just using up its last bit of energy from the leaves it has lost? Why no roots are growing, just a leaf?
The other phal is recovering very nicely, it's not in water culture, just bareroot. I water it 1-2 times a day. The only problem is that its repeatedly getting soft rot on different parts, which I keep chopping off. The other orchid next to it in FWC seems to be unaffected by soft rot. Why does this disease keep coming back?
