| Soil is bark.
Hi
Thanks for quick reply. The soil is an orchid bark mix, no dirt. The plant was a bare root miniature. I am not sure you can see it, but the plant is actually potted in a 3" to 4" 'zip' storage container, with 1/2" holes cut in the bottom for drainage. The storage container is then placed in the pot that you can see in the photo. When I water, I can see the bark drains and there appears to be a lot of spaces for 'breathing'.
The area I live in does get rather hot during the day. I do not think that the temp ever got lower than 36 degrees(night) or higher than about 95 degrees (day), according to min-max thermometer. Those extremes were not on the same day, by the way!
I am moving plant to my office window to see if I can revive it.
I will take advice and clean off dead parts, but wanted pictures (finally) to show what was happening - it has been a fairly slow process. :-(
Thanks again.
