| It is definately salvageable, but it will be a long process - probably at least a year (or longer) to bring the plant back to health. Bark will not be a good choice of media at this point - not enough moisture will be retained for the little remaining stubby roots. If it were mine I'd use a coir mix, but you can also use sphag - undoubtedly many on this forum will suggest the sphag and bag recovery method that is used to bring plants back from the brink of death. Personally, I'd rather just keep the root areas slightly damp and keep in a moderately humid area - maybe on a tray of rocks (with water just under the surface). I live very close to you and it is not so dry (i.e. low humidity) that this will work in our area. Size of pot should be very small - maybe 2-2 1/2 inch. Hopefully the roots will start recovering and you can soon transfer to a three inch pot. Good luck! |
