Hello,
I hope everyone's well
I've managed to save some pretty dodgy phals over the last couple of years, but they've always had at least one root in the medium. Now I have one with only aerials left!
Some friends of mine have asked if I could try and save her (the plant is called Matilda) since she was a present from their daughter.
Upon inspection in the pot, all the roots were dead and all that's left are the aerials which you can see in the pictures. What I've done is fill a bowl with water, scunch up some J-cloths for better evaporation and stand the plant above it inside a clear pot. There is also just enough room to stand a larger pot on top for extra humidity. (Btw, I must stress that the roots are not in contact with the cloths even though it looks like it on the picture!)
Does this look like a reasonable set-up? I can't think of anything else to do and this is outside my area of experience to be honest! The aerials are turning green with
misting, so they're obviously still able to take up water, so I figure I'll carry on doing that as well during the day (believe it or not, but it's around 26 degrees here at the moment!)
Thanks in advance for comments and suggestions
