Phal w/Fusarium balls and miniscule beetles, what to do? Male
Default Phal w/Fusarium balls and miniscule beetles, what to do?

I've got a Phal NoID that I've had for a month or so. I thought it was doing pretty well. The roots looked green and seemed to be growing and it even put on a couple of new buds.

Today, I believe we've identified it as having the little orange balls that indicate that it is in the sexual stage of Fusarium. I haven't been able to find many of the little balls, but they are there.

I also found as I was examing the thing, tiny little (~1mm) iridescent yellowish, dark green beetles. I also saw one other little critter that was a bit bigger and reminded me a tiny bit of a silverfish, but much, much smaller and not as long. It didn't have the fringing that I would expect to see in a mealy bug, but I'm certainly no expert.

So, based on the photos, what does everyone think about the plant. should I try to repot and save or just trash and get something new?

Attached photos show 2x Fusarium, 2x roots, beetle, plant, and 2x blooms w/ & w/o new buds.
