Mini-phal w/ rotten roots

17 years ago

I purchased a mini-phal, blooming nicely. The leaves started wrinkling. When I looked at the roots I found them rotting in a dense sphagnum mixture. I repotted in orchid bark. No improvement. I did radical surgery on the rotten roots, repotted again. Plant's leaves seem not to be getting enough water though they are still green.

I took it out again, soaked the roots in water for two hours, and put back in bark to get air. I plan to immerse the pot in water once or twice a day so it can take in water until it makes new roots while hoping the bark provides air between immersions.

Wrong track? What elso to do? Or is plant beyond saving?
