    Default My New Phal

    Whatcha all think? Can it be saved? Didn't we just talk about something like this?

    I'm gonna try. Will clean it up, cut off the dead stuff inc. roots, plant it in a mesh pot with spaghnum moss. We'll see what happens in a few days.

    I'll be back with a new post after I clean this mess up and re-pot it.

    It looks like there are some plump roots. I go to a Chinese Restaurant that has 3 Phals in its window. The leaves look like hell but the Phals do bloom. I think I would give it a try. Especially in your environment.

    I would have thought that clay pots explode in the microwave.
