| A single soft droopy leaf to me means you might (?) have a disease organism involved - if it is the last leaf, you could have a crown rot problem developing. It comes on fast and before you know it - uh oh! When all the leaves are soft and droopy it is under or usually over-watering and resulting root rot (not likely when you have just repotted). I have actually had a similar experience (don't mean to "scare" you) - I have about 30 phals that are doing WONDERFULLY. A co-worker brought a plant in for me to nurse back to health. I repotted for them and about a week or two later the newest leaf turned soft and disintegrated. I decided to move it to another place to see if the environment might be the problem, and the next thing I knew every single leaf repeated the lead of the new leaf. Now NO LEAVES! I'm embarassed as all get out to tell my coworker that their plant has vanished into thin air! Now what? I'm hoping for a basal keiki resurrection, but it has now been three months and things have not progressed positively. What happened? I'm wondering if there were dormant organisms on this plant that were somehow triggered by the repotting process? Either by a minor injury or more water than normal in the crown area (I changed to a more close mix than the original bark - one that is working great for all my other phals). Good luck and let us know how it goes.................
