My friend sent me these photos of her sickly phal.

We suspect root and crown rot. Leaves started turning yellow from bottom up, then falling off. Last 2 leaves fell today.

She immediately unpotted, trimmed up roots with sterilized scissors (she found most to be brown and black and mushy)- leaving 6 healthy roots- 2 of which are aerial, and one new root with green growing tip.

She repotted into coarse bark mix, probably into too big of a pot, but it was all she had on hand. She plans to douse with hydrogen peroxide, and I've some physan to share.

I'm not sure what else to tell her to try. Please see photos below.

I know some of you have rescued phals at death's door, and, as it has a few good roots....maybe it's salvageable?
