Default The leaves on my Phal

Hi
Have several different phals that I bought at various times & places last year.
They are now starting to to rebloom and look gorgeous! Except one. It was cut
back last year and kept in the same place as the others and nothing is
happening. The leaves have a soggy withered feel to them and a dull green
color. It got the same treatment as the others. Any ideas?

Thanks!


Sounds like the mix on it went bad and you did not repot. Knock
it out of the pot and check the roots. Cut all mushy and rotten
ones off with a razor blade you can dispose of afterwards. (be
careful when disposing) Treat the cut ends with cinnamon (the
spice) then pot up in fresh mix. Keep shaded in a humid area and
water sparingly for 3 weeks. It will take its time to recover.
