Ladies and Gentlemen!!! I need your assistance - I'm a farmer's daughter, and I think that's the only reason my phals haven't given up on me yet. I have two of them, let's call them Phal1 and Phal2. I purchased both at Trader Joe's. Both are the basic white moth blooms with pink "centers." They both live on a counter above our sink several feet from any window (no direct sunlight). I water only when the potting medium is dry to the touch. You can click the link below to check out some pictures I took of them this morning.

Phal1: (First 3 pictures) I got it about 2 years ago. The leaves eventually began to yellow and fell off. I thought it was a goner for sure, but I repotted it in some sphagnum moss and did not water for a couple weeks, and it came back! Roots appear pretty happy, but new leaves are a confusion... Leaf in the center is the newest growth, and is reddish on the bottom.

Phal2: (Last 4 pictures) Purchased about 8 months ago. It got some kind of rot and leaves quickly went- even though I cut them off, the whole crown eventually browned and dried up. Most roots are BRIGHT green with some brown spots on the top, as you can see- and now there's these new leaves at the TOP of the plant!!! I have no idea what the heck is going on. This plant is still potted in its original bark.

Please give me any suggestions you have on how to proceed with these plants.
