Yes this is about my rootless almost dead phrag Acker's Fu Manchu (my fault) that is coming back to life by pushing not one, not two, but three growths- and I know I should just stop looking at it. ![Face with tears of joy :joy: š](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f602.png)
However!
I was considering focusing more on foliar feeding being that it has no roots. I feel silly "watering" it (which I do just to keep humidity up and the medium ready/flushed fresh for roots that I know will come). At the same time, if I were to actually soak it I would probably need to unpot it and disturb it further, which we determined is not ideal (Ie, STOP LOOKING AT IT
) But then also, it might be a little shallow in the pot and I could nestle it deeper if I messed with it... What should I do? When might I expect roots on a new growth? If roots will appear soon from one of these growths, I may not do anything different.
When I water the medium it's also wetting the new growths, which probably helps. I just feel bad for the main plant, which is doing all this on leaf power alone. I have it parked next to my humidifier at least.
New growths, and the poor leaf:
