    And, if you sphag and bag it, watch closely for signs of fungus or mold. For some reason I have terrible luck with sphag and bag personally (perhaps I'm letting the leaves touch the bag, not sure). The plant still looks pretty good, in spite of the roots. If you can keep it from totally dehydrating or rotting, it will probably recover. Good luck!

    Thank you Carol for your quick response. I am very nervous about mold and fungus as well being that I live in the unofficial mold capitol of the world it seems so I will definitely watch the phal like a hawk.
    I think the fish tank that I have should work once disinfected and then I plan to put light saran wrap over 3/4 of the top to trap in more moisture.
