Yep, problem is obvious enough. You froze the poor thing. Baker's sheet gives a record low for the locality in which it grows of 65F. I have been avoiding many of these species Phals until recently because of the high temps they require. I have a violacea that was 3' away from small opening in a window in the middle of summer that gave the plant a wind chill that killed off 90% of the leaf area. By now it has grown half a leaf which more than doubles the poor babies leaf area.

Keep the stump warm, and who knows.
