Help my phal!!!pls
 
:helloI recently bought a phal but don't know the exact name. Last week when i looked at it, it's quite good. But three days ago, i found out that the leaves had all dry out rapidly and the root is also not in good shape.:( The last leave fell yesterday. I don't know what to do. So i just water it daily without throwing it away. Only the small stem and roots exist, nothing left. I hope i can get some keiki from the base. Is it possible? I really upset about my bad experience in phal. and it's my first one:roll:. So i'm upset. Pls help me and advise me :bowing.Thx

helpmepls I am sorry to hear about your phal, it definately sounds like it is being over watered.

First things first, take a look at the roots, are they mushy and rotten? are there any viable (plump and green) roots left? If so cut all rotten roots treat the rest with cinnammon, H2O2 or listerine and repot in new media (preferably barks if you have a heavy watering hand) and leave it in a shady warm place until it hopefully recovers

When you say only the stem and roots are left it may be a case of crown rot, it happens when you let water sit in between the phal's leaves they go quickly, but there is little hope, try to treat the crown with H2O2 and again, leave in a warm shady place, and avoid watering daily.

You must understand that most of us started out with a phal that was overwatered :(

it happens, not that it makes it any less sad

Keep us posted
