Look what I found in the garbage can...

[Autumn Child]

Yup, two perfectly healthy phals. Picked them up and put it on my balcony waiting for a new home. One of them has absolutely healthy root system while the other one have some rotting roots. Both have fungus growing inside the medium due to overwatering by the vendors. Everyday, hundreds of plants like this get thrown away (from just one flower market, i estimate tens of thousand get thrown everyday in Shanghai) because all their flowers wilted not because of disease of dying plant. The flowers ussually wilt within a month in poorly built flower shops in shanghai. I wish i could set up an orchid refuge in this city and donate these plants away.

As for the fungus...what should i do with them? i cannot repot the plant because they have no root growth and would stress them out further. Should I just let them dry out?
