Can I save this phal.?
Default Can I save this phal.?

I work in an "upscale" grocery store in the deli, which is right next to our amazing floral department. That's how I got bit by the orchid bug and bought my first phal. about 2 mos. ago. Needless to say, I find myself wandering over there on my breaks, pestering our florist!! Well, she had marked down this pitiful phal. in this gorgeous basket container for $5 so I bought it mostly for the container!! Apparently, when she got it, it was ice cold and, of course, the stem and flowers are dried and black, like they've been burned. Trash, right? Here's the thing: the leaves are nice and fleshy, medium green, no spots or anything. I took her out of the container and shook off the moss and bark and most of her roots actually look good-greyish/green and plump. I put her in some fresh spahagnum and cut off about 2" off the stem. Is this futile for me to try to save her?! Should I be trying some sort of orchid CPR or is she truly ready for burial?
