Phal. NoID "Green"

     Just another rescue phal that I never bothered writing about. There was nothing going on with this plant for a long time. At the time of purchase it was wilted, had naturally greenish-yellow blooms, was crawling out of its pot and its roots were so broken and misshandled, I had no clue weather to just lop them all off or leave them.

View of 2 new roots, plus some of the broken floppy old roots.

     FINALLY, after a very long time of inactivity, the plant has began growing a new leaf and two roots. The new leaf is growing in a bit lopsided towards the sun on my windowsill  I flip the orientation of the plant one a week to even the growth out a bit.  This wont be a problem in my future set-up, I assume, since it will be grown under lights.

Rootless removed keikis: Update.

     The keikis that were previously cut off the mom plant are still in my closet, in a cup of water. They have been doing great, but once again are showing wrinkly leaves. The method has been efective for about a month and has bought the baby plants enough time to grow a bunch of roots.

     I dont know exactly what caused all this rooting on keiki 2's stem. Even the unknown nub has shown 3 root bumps, as seen above. For now, I am assuming the drop of Superthrive I placed in the water is responsible for the fast growth.

     Above is keiki 2, showing 4 root growths on right side. This keiki is much more wrinkled compared to keiki 1. Im going to try and keep it in the water cup as long as possible before its removal and final transplant.

     Above, the left side of keiki 2 shows 3 more roots. A total of 7 have started growing within the last month.

     Keiki 1 has done little when it comes to root growth. It is concentrating more on pushing a new leaf.

     The mother plant is still hanging on for its life. I am misting its lone, stubby, aerial root daily. Its condition has not improved but has not become any worse since the keikis have been removed.
