What to do with phal floppy leaves? Female
Default What to do with phal floppy leaves?

Hello everyone. I need advice on how to proceed with a phal that is struggling to come back from someone's mis-care. This phal I now have potted in orchiata, and is in an eastern window. I acquired it months ago, with it was still in bloom, and it was spectacular. I noted that the leaves were getting wrinkled, and so unspotted it to check out the roots. It had maybe 2 viable roots, and the rest were rotted. My guess is the spectacular blooms were a last ditch effort on it's part...that said, I cut the spike, bloom and all, in order to give the plant more energy to recuperate. Thus far, she's grown 2 new air roots, just now going down into the bark, and also a new leaf. My question is, should I remove the lower 2 super floppy dehydrated leaves? They are clearly soon to sluff off anyway, (I think) but in removing them, would that give her even more energy to become stronger?
