| Sounds like you are on the right track - remove all old dried and mushy roots and only keep the plump fleshy tan/white/green ones. Yep - cut off the old dried base of the plant below the roots. Put the plants in as small of pot as the roots will fit - as you have also suggested. If you have them facing south be sure you have a shear curtain between the rays of the sun and your plants and have them back a few feet from the window - phals can burn very easily in direct sunlight - air movement would help keep them cool too. Good luck! mike |
