Thanks scy, as I continued to read horror stories about phals from HD or Lowes i just took it out of my pot today to take a look at it.
Surprisingly there weren't many dead roots, there were some along the perimeter of the inner pot, but I wasn't able to take apart the root ball yet..
The thing is I just watered it the other day because it seemed very dry and I think it might be retaining a bit too much water in the sphag (I'm pretty sure in the middle of the root ball as well). I removed some sphag from the areas that were easier to access and was over packed. I put some back in loosely (Although I'm not sure if it was TOO lose). Semi small airy areas where its loose. I also cut holes into the plastic pot to help with the aerating, although I can see some roots now through the holes I just cut. Hopefully the visible roots wont dry out because of it.
Hopefully this should keep me going until Friday when my pint of Superthrive arrives and my bark chips are done soaking in water. I feel like repotting it to be safe. Better to lose a bloom then the whole plant eh. The damage shouldn't be too detrimental in two days right?
As for the glass pot, I told my GF to take it out of it, and low and behold she said half were mushy and rotted. She cut them off and i told her to put it in a plastic pot with some loose sphag until i can come over and hopefully set things straight. I'm hoping i can save this one too because its the first one i bought (and i think i overpaid for it too haha. but Valentines day, go figure)
Many thanks for yall patience
