Hi Everybody. Thanks for all your support (much appreciated) and your suggestions. I've taken encouragement and ideas from all of you.

She's out of the bag, Jenny. I dosed the roots with pyroxide, Brook. They might be in better shape than I thought. Some of them are clearly healthier than others--lighter color and a few little hairs emerging--but the others after the peroxide did not look terrible, so again I cut nothing away. I have no Physan so I bathed the whole plant in Brookn's cinnamon solution. I added some Root Master B-1 (with Napthalene Acetic Acid) to the the potting mix, found a smaller pot, gave her my blessings and put her back with the Phals. I'm thinking I'll give her low light for a week or so before moving her closer to the window.

Here's how she looks now. I'll keep you posted.
Norm
