Hope for crown rot!

[mattryan]

If any part is green I keep it. I like a challenge, some you win some you lose. I'm glad you didn't pitch it as someone suggested. It's a great way to learn what works and what doesn't. Some orchids just want to survive. Please post a pic when it blooms.

I had a crown rotted Phal with nothing left but roots - it survived, but after the initial burst of new (basal) growth has been extremely slow growing

Thank you all for your comments! I am happy that this little guy is on his way to a better life.

Just a quick and dirty photo to show the update on this little guy! He finally bloomed!

Aww beautiful flower too! Good for you, feels good when you think it's on the way out and you can help it along, keep it growing. I have a mini Phal finally growing roots and new leaves. My first and only rescue but it was too cute with its tiny white flowers. One day it will bloom again. You should be proud, nice growing.

It's done well due to your name. Glad you perservered and can show it off! Well done.

I scrolled back to the date of your first post in the thread... Only 15 months! I am so envious and in awe of your mad skills.

WOW, great job!!

So is that the basal keiki you showed us in the beginning? Or...? Please, if you don't mind, tell us what you did and how this beauty came to be.

Thanks for sharing. It's a great message not to give up too soon, if at all.
