Super Dehydrated Phal with keiki
Hi Everyone!
I have a very stubborn phal that has had it's spike for over a year. On the end of the spike, in January, it started growing a keiki. The keiki has 2 leaves, and 3 teeny roots. It has stopped growing.
The plant itself has become incredibly dehydrated. I can't figure out why. The roots are not bad, its had some new root growth, and it's currently growing a new leaf. I've been giving it Ray's seaweed extract, which has done marvels for all my plants, but this particular one seems to be on the brink of death.
Any help or suggestions with this would be appreciated. Should I cut off the spike and the keiki and *hope* it survives? Should I just leave it be and see what happens? All my other plants are thriving, I just can't seem to get this one to a happy place.
Thanks!
