| Dying Phalaenopsis I have a Phalaenopsis that I got about 3 years ago. I brought it to work and it held its flowers for about 2 months, then the "branch" died but the plant remained healthy looking. It never reflowered.
FInally, I decided to repot it. I read several sites about how to repot it and undertook the task. When I uprooted it, there were several healthy "aerial" roots and some other roots that I would have either called "normal plant roots" or "dead aerial roots". Since all the websites I read made no mention of the "normal roots", I cut them off.
I have a feeling (although I still cant find any info about it) that those roots were in fact "normal plant roots" and I should have only cut dead aerial roots.
Is there anything I can do? The plant has lost 2 leaves and has 2 remaining. One looks very healthy, the other is starting to yellow (just as the two that died did before succumbing). |
