Hmmm. 3 months of looking at a pot with nothing above the media. Hmmm. I have a plant like this right now. Hmmm. I wonder if I will have the patience to "play this out" to the bitter end? Of course you wonder if "the end" has not already come and gone?
I have about 25-30 phals that are all doing wonderfully (majority with flowers and spikes now), so a work acquaintance gave me a phal that had not bloomed for her in the past 2-3 years for me to "nurse" back to health (and blooms!). I put it in new media and placed it in the midst of my thriving "family" and what do you suppose happens? EVERY single leaf fell off! I'm dreading her phone call one of these days asking me how "her" phal is doing.
I'm praying for a basal keiki before that happens...........
