Bl Golden Glory looks wilty

[lily99]

My Bl Golden Glory suffered severe root rot due to bad medium. After I sphag-n-bagged it, it grew 6 new roots which look healthy. However, 2 of the leaves look wrinkled as if they are not getting enough water. It is currently still in its bag under a bank of 4 full-spectrum fluorescent lights in front of an east-facing window. The other problem is the leaves are twisting around towards the window, suggesting the plant is not getting enough light. I am thinking of potting it and putting it in a fish tank under my high intensity discharge light in my basement. Is this a good idea? Also, what is a good way to increase the humidity in the fish tank?

The idea of sphag-n-bag to to keep the relative humidity surrounding the plant maximized so it won't desiccate. That requires closing the bag.

Your plant has sacrificed the stored water and nutrition in those leaves to try to save itself. In the middle phot, it looks like it was a complete sacrifice, so the leaves may be removed.

As it has some new roots, I'd pot it up but totally enclose the plant and pot this time, in hopes it will recover.
