Hello all,
Thanks for all the great tips. My little plant is still struggling. Since the last time I posted, I tried the 'sphag and bag' method without trimming off the old/dead root because the plant had next to no healthy roots, I thought doing so would make it even less stable for potting. Well, it didn't work, the mold came back within a week of being in the bag. I took everything out, bleached and repotted in bark chips, thinking the big air pockets in the mix will prevent further mold growth. I guess it's still too wet for my plant because my fuzzy friend is making an appearance again even though I only water it once every 5 days.
Since bleaching (1/2 tsp per liter) didn't work and I couldn't find Physan-20 at our local stores, my next plan of attack is to trim off the dead roots, where I believe the mold spores reside, and repot. I love the idea of treating it with root-growing hormones, Randy. Thanks. I will try and find KLN and do what you've suggested. Anyone know where I can find Physan or KLN in Toronto, Ontario??
