Tom: Did you inspect the roots carefully when you repotted? All black or dark brown roots should be removed with a sterilized tool. You mentioned that all the roots died. Do you have any roots left at all?

Most of my phals. are in 4 inch pots, even the ones with pretty large leaves. I usually sterilize the pot and reuse. Be careful of using a pot that's too big - that will definitely slow down the growth. Unless your plants are very large, I doubt you need anything larger than a 4" pot.
