phal orchid with no leaves &amp; w roots
Default phal orchid with no leaves & w roots

Hi everyone,

I have gone through a few issues with my phal that are posted under a former thread (root rot and then crown rot) . http://www.orchidboard.com/community...wing-leaf.html

I started with a beautiful white moth orchid with huge blooms, 6 leaves, potted in moss. I've ended with an orchid re-potted in bark, in a clear pot with ventilation, with no leaves (crown rot, my fault in watering too quickly), and two good roots (used to be aerial roots that were spared from being in the pot and rotting).

I continue to water and the two roots still look green in the pot. It's in a sunlit western window here in Pittsburgh (lots of cloudy days). The one aerial root had the top portion half in and half out of the bark...the top part looks dry but the part in the bark looks green.

I also had put root growth hormone on the roots just before the crown rot, in hopes of growing more healthy roots.

Is this how to possibly save the plant? Could it re-grow from the roots? Any other suggestions?
