Dtps Champ. Lightning 'Splash'... sunk
 

My 'Splash' has bit the dust already! Thankfully, Schwerter are replacing it with my next order. Mine lost two leaves and the on remaining one is going limp and wrinkly. My uneasy feeling about this particular plant seems to be well founded. Damn! :(

Oh no!! :bua: You could try getting rid of the spike (if that's what it is in the pic) and that might help it save some energy.....

Yep, I just cut it off to see if that helps. I have no idea what went wrong with this one and it's a pity that it's about to heave off. Oh well.

I'd vote roots. Have you taken it out to see if any are healthy. Since they are replacing it, now is the time to experiment to keep it alive. Hopefully you'll have a good root or 2.

Absolutely - it's never over til it's over!!

Here they are. Not looking good, is it?

My Guess was right. Dang, that doesn't look good at all. Time for ICU. Are either of those longer roots still firm at all? Looks like it might have stayed too wet for too long. Take a look around the OB and find some good sphag/bag setups. Good Luck, hopefully the new one will be better, and you can save this guy.

From experience in the past this ones goose is cooked. That remaining leaf is going to go yellow in the next two days and that will be that. Pity.

Hmm, it looks like the root on the top might still have something going for it (but, who can tell from a picture!) The little one I have in ICU/ A&E (which was given to me by a friend to revive) I let the few remaining roots dry out and I now dunk it periodically during the day. So far it's holding up and I don't think I'll need to delve into the realms rooting hormone, but, if you feel you've got nothing to lose, that could be an option for you....

Well if you lose the last leaf, it's not all lost if there is a good root. It's up to you if it's worth saving, but when I find one like this I figure lets try something (mounting, new ICU, etc).

Such a defeatist attitude!! :roll: Still, you know your little one better than we do!

LMAO! It'll be dead within three days, just watch lol. If it had six leaves and half had fallen off I would hold out some hope but not with this baby. ;)

I think this is the first time someone is trying to prove me wrong by having a plant die! ;) I have managed to save a couple of Phals (rescued from/ donated by friends) with only one or two little leaves before (but, I admit, they have had slightly more rootage to work with!)

LOL The level of experience is shown by knowing when you should give up....me, today, 00.015am :D ;)

Don't lose hope! I have one phal now that was down to its last 2 leaves and no root except for a nub that was trying to push out. I put it on top of damp moss in a plastic bag and now it is growing 2 new roots. I am hoping it'll make it.
