Phal keiki?
 
I bought a noid phal from lowes yesterday because it had a keiki. Yeah lowes grew a keiki. I don't know how, but they did. However, the mother plant doesn't look that good, but i cannot cut the keiki off because the roots are so small. I will post another thread later with some pictures. The leaves of the mother plant have white spots on them and 2 are dying. Can i repot this plant?

Pics would be good so the pros on here can have a better idea of what is going on.

When my phal's seem to be having issues, I always check the roots first, cleaning them out as needed. I do repot them in fresh medium and keep them in a somewhat darker place for a while. I also use Dyna-Gro Pro-Tekt silicone solution (diluted a bit more than suggested) and use it once a week to help the phal become a bit stronger to overall environmental stress factors.

As for the white spots, I do not know what to tell you as I am somwhat of a newbie and do not have experience with white spots. Post some pictures and hopefully someone will have some better answers for you.

Are they white spots or kind of fuzzy white spots as in mealies?
