Is my phal beyond saving?
Hi all, I was wondering if I could get some help... I did something very bad - I neglected a phal for a very long time while away on a trip and now it is in terrible condition. I took it out of it's pot today (for the first time since owning it), and it essentially just fell apart. Though there are two HUGE flower spikes coming from the base that I had previously cut back a little when the blooms faded away, and they appear to be healthy. It also has a few big fat healthy looking roots (and a bunch of dead/dried up ones). When taking it out of the pot and pulling apart the moss/roots, all of the leaf structure just fell right off... and there is a white fuzz around the base (appears to be mold). It has been neglected for quite a while, but a few roots and the flower spikes seem healthy and has started a few growths from some of the nodes along the spikes. I was wondering if there is any way I could nurse this back to health or if it is beyond saving and should just be thrown out? I appreciate any input.
