Default Help!

Ok so now I have 2 plants I'm going to lose. The Den which I mentioned before in the spagh-n-bag thread has no roots left, and now a bessea cross, that I transplanted onto S/H. All of the roots on bessae rotted away(yes there was new root growth), plus it aquired snow mold, which alot of my plants came down with when I moved. But it managed to rot the new roots too! It has 2 new little buds of new roots coming out but the plant is beginign to wilt. What should I do.
Thanks

Erin,
From what you are describing I am not too sure if it is worth the bother. But the sphag in the bag treatment is not really an easy method and the general experience is too much moisture . For the phrag I have gotten a new growth that I had inadvertently knocked off the mother plant without any roots on it to survive and grow new roots. I did not use sphagnum but rather used my debris mix (you can get cypress mulch at a pet shop-it is used for herps) stuff the growth with the mix/mulch around it into a 1 inch pot and put into a 1 gallon or smaller baggie.
Mist it. And place in the warmest and the sunniest spot in your growing area (I had the bagged growth sitting on a shelf that sits only 8 inches from the roof of my greenhouse).
Since you have mold on your plant you may just want to moisten the mix/mulch and then plug the plant and mix together into a baggie and blow air into it and seal and set up in the warmest brightest spot.
About all I can recommend.
