I impulse ordered this phrag from Ebay in the middle of Idaho winter, and it was shipped USPS (I know better! FedEx only for my town!), so after a nail biting extra half day rattling around in its box getting to me it arrived. It was sent potted in POTTING SOIL of all things. Many dead roots, but also many live ones and some new roots tips and 3 new growths starting, so I think it could be okay.
I have a couple of questions, but my main question is, what is the white streaking on this leaf tip? If a nutrient deficiency (a new leaf is also looking pale), what do you think it needs? Or is it cold damage from its chilly extra half day after the heat pack cooled off?
It's absorbing a Kelpak watering now, but I will fertilize it as normal shortly.
My other question is if you think I will see root die back from the change from deathly potting soil to a seedling bark/perlite mix layered with some small/medium rocks (because I was at the end of my bag of mix...)?
Bonus picture of living roots (after a trim up) during Kelpak soak yesterday.
