Today i went to wal-mart today looking for some cat food and bell peppers, and came acrossed a sad looking Phal. with a dead flower spike. So i looked it over and it looked ok to me root wise. i got it for $5. when i got it home i went to repot it and the moment i pulled it out of the pot the two big leaves on it came right off. I looked at the center and there was rot there. i then did an emergency rot clean up (idk what to call it.) and cleaned and cut anything that didnt look green.
After that i saved any roots that i cut off so the poor thing can fit into the pot and spread a little keiki paste on the open ends and placed it in sphag. and i did the same with the leaves that fell off, after cutting the rotted parts.
The only leaves that are still on the poor plant are little ones and i dont think they'll make it. i also put cinnamon on any rotted part on the crown (any where that looked grey).
Is it saveable??
