so i have this phal seedling that's been trying for YEARS to die on me
and i said "what the hell" and stuck it in some leftover primeagra in a
yogurt cup about three weeks ago. it seems happy--the leaves are shiny
and getting bigger; it actually *has* four leaves for the first time in
its life, so i figured all was well. i looked at it closely today
though and saw some black around the base of the stem and thought
"yipes! rot!" and pulled it out..... should i be concerned about these
stripes on the root (yes, singular; as i said, trying to die or are
they just sort of growth rings?
