Operation - Save Keikis on Phal and maybe the Mom

Thanks Bruce
I was researching a bit on the internet on rootless orchids and they spoke of a method that supposedly worked doing the following:
1-Every other day place the plant upside down in a container filled with water and weak fertilizer. The leaves have to be submerged in water for 30 minutes. This should get rid of the dehydrated leaves issue and give energy to the plant to produce roots.
2-keep rooting hormone on the base and keep it lightly moist by placing moss around it and keeping it in a shady place.

I might give that a try.

What do you think?

I don't imagine that it would hurt, so go for it. It would be interesting to document the process. If you have time and the desire, take photos along the way of the process and maybe in the end when it works, you could post an article for our article library. Could be just the thing to help someone else on down the road.

Cheers,
BD

We could learn a lot from crayons: some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, some have weird names, and all are different colors....but they all exist very nicely in the same box. ...Hmmm? .

I think its a great idea Bruce I will take photos of the various stages, of progress hopefully and if I am succesful, I will be more than happy to document it in an article!

That is awesome! I will send good vibes your way for success!

Cheers,
BD
