Over watered Phal
Recently bought a phal, a crazy blue with some yellow hints.. noticed a leaf had half turned yellow and investigated (found your site)...
I had assumed the outer pot had drainage prior to watering, (i want the only person watering it)., there wasn't.
When I removed the outer pot about a pint of water spilled out, the roots minus a very few bad ends which I clipped looked great.
I semi replanted it in a new pot, not disturbing the roots or its bark medium besides what had fallen out and just using cedar chips around the base of the new pot.
Living here in colorado springs is arid and water dissipates quickly.
Was this enough? will the decorative cedar I used be okay? The original bark was soaked... I hated to disturb it after just a few days of over watering...
