| Hoping the potting mix is in good condition and especially since you mentioned lava rock, Cynthia's methods is really good, but till you get the bamboo skewers, water the plant atleast once a week, and mist lightly once or twice a day. You can also place the pot in a tray of water, do not sit the pot in the water, you can use pebbles in the tray to keep the pot out of water, this will help improve the humidity around the plant (especially since you r living in arid desert conditions and phals love high humidity), this should help and if you can't find skewers use unfinished bamboo chopsticks.
