Sphag & bag sarcochilus

[seamonkey]

I'm trying something new with this rescued sarcochilus: putting it in a ziploc which is perforated for keeping veggies fresh. After three weeks it's growing three new nice green roots, so at least the environment isn't hurting it.

Good going with this rescue, help it keeps getting better and growing roots

Thanks! I'd heard that the plant shouldn't be touching the moss, but with the holes in the bag the moss doesn't stay too moist. Will the older leaves perk up again or will I lose them, do you think?

I'm not sure about the leaves I'm afraid.

In my experiance, with a Phal that has had serious root problems, the leaves which wrinkled did not recover. Although currently there is one which has been wrinkled and slightly yellowing for months and I was expecting it to loose months ago and it is still there. I don't expect it the leaf to recover but it is hanging on while the Phal is growing a new one.
