I have a branching Phal that was in bloom for about 4 months. I cut the spikes back and what looked like 2 new leaves started. Acutually it is one leaf that is coming in split right down the center. Is there anyway to stop the splitting? It has slowed up and is not growing as fast. It also dropped 2 of the older leaves and only has 2 large leaves and the splitting one left.
The stem that the leaves grow from is rather tall. I am going to repot it, should I pot it to where the 2 large leaves begin? Although there are a lot of dead air roots, I can see large green roots in the pot. The potting mix seems to be broken down and I purchased a new bark mix to plant it in. I plan on putting fertiziler in the water when I repot it and will use SuperThrive as soon as it arrives. I would like to save this Phal. It's blooms are green and a little unusual.
