This poor phal...
Some of you may remember that a couple of months ago I posted about a phal I
rescued. Someone had been trimming the roots flush with the edges of the pot for God knows how long, and the poor thing had four gigantic leaves, I mean HUGE, and no new growth whatsoever. Well, nothing has changed. Since I picked it up, it lost the flowers it had naturally over time, and has sat here making those leaves bigger and nothing else. It has not put anything out the crown, started a new spike, lengthened any roots, anything at all. It just keeps looking generally unhappy, and throwing all its energy into enlarging these giant leaves. The leaves are fleshy and stiff but they droop due to their sheer size, and one is hypertrophied in the middle so that it has started to split along the vein. There is no sign of rot, fungus, etc. No spots on the leaves, and the leaves are a good color. The leaves are currently about 40 cm. x 10 cm. I repotted it around five weeks ago. Anyone have any suggestions for turning this fellow around? Thanks, Katrina --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
