[Aroid-l] Can this adelonema be saved?

From: Rosalind Gold <rozgold at pacbell.net> on 2020.01.18 at 01:58:41(24304) Friends: I purchased a healthy adelonema wallisii cutting, barerooted, from a buyer I trust - after potting it, it seemed to be doing OK for about two weeks. I put it in a very large clear plastic bag to keep the humidity up, and then poked holes in the bag, and then finally, took it out of the bag. At that point it still looked fine. About a week and a half ago, all the leaves started to go slightly limp - and then in the course of two days, it ended up looking like the photo I attached (if the photo doesn't go through, let me know, I can resize it). It's not an issue of the soil drying out - while the soil isn't sopping wet, it is still a bit damp. I've had this happen to a few other aroids I've purchased - everything from some philos to some anthuriums. The area that I've put the plants in is indoors by a large glass patio window that gets light filtered through window blinds. It has gotten as cold as 62 degrees F by the window at night, but not for extended periods. I do have other aroids that are doing fine in this area - an aglaonema pictum tricolor, a philo luxurians "Choco", and a monstera. I'm wondering if I might be able to save this by removing all of the leaves except the one that's about to unfurl in the middle, and putting the pot back into a high humidity bag - and moving the pot to a place where it would not get as cold as it does by the window. Or if there's any other way to save the plant - or do just I have something that should end up on the compost heap? Thanks for any advice - I really appreciate everyone on this listserve - I loved the discussion of monstera fruit. -Roz in Los Angeles HTML +More ------=_Part_15433091_1637478983.1579312721285-- ------=_Part_15433095_846598830.1579312721393
