Limp Leaves on Phalenopsis

[jen.kirsten]

I posted a few days ago about having to remove some tangled up yellow roots from both of my newly acquired Phals. Everything seemed to be going okay except I noticed today on the smaller plant the leaves were drooping and limply hanging over the edge of their pot. I took the clear plastic pot out of the outer pot and noticed that the roots that are left were dry. I watered like I usually do and the roots are nice and green again but this was almost 12 hours ago and the leaves still look limp and floppy. Any estimates on a recovery time? I really want this plant to do well, I picked it up at an Ikea store sitting in the windowless basement amongst some palms and cactus plants. The roots (that I could see) looked good and it had a few flowers and lots of buds but now I fear I'm in danger of losing it.
