Post #6581228

I bought a Phal at Walmart - marked-down because it had already flowered. It looked like it was going to bloom again, so I got it. Soon I discovered that what I thought were new branches with flowers were in fact keikis. Unfortunately the plant was in spagnum when I got it, and I don't think I got it out soon enough to prevent rot. The spike is starting to change down by the plant crown and I suspect it is rotting also. The keikis don't have roots yet. Is there any way I can save them?

Thanks for your help.

Sarah
