Half dead mini phal making flowers.
Default Half dead mini phal making flowers.

I got this little plant with lots of little deep rose purple flowers (Zuma's Pixie) a few months ago. I tend to be a mini phal killer (no idea why!).

This little thing started to lose leaves and flowers. I really wanted to save the plant, so I put the whole thing inside a glass container and nearly completely sealed the mouth with kitchen wrap. I would mist the plant occasionally.
Over the course of one month, all the flowers dropped and three leaves were lost leaving two leaves behind.
Those two leaves got wrinkly over time. With diligent watering and misting, it is slowing coming back and today I noticed that the old spikes (there are two) are making some buds.
One is elongating the end of its spike with some buds and the other spike is branching at two nodes.

So excited! yay!!!!
