IKEA Phalaenopsis Separation: One Thriving, One Dying—Keiki Hope on the Sick One?

Two Plants, One Pot: Common IKEA Practice

Separated correctly. Healthy one: continue careful watering (barely moist between), 13-13-13 Dynamite time-release fertilizer is excellent.

Wrinkled leaves, one rotten root, but NEW GROWTH on spike = encouraging. If some healthy roots exist, survival possible with time/patience/TLC.

Mature new leaf should match/exceed old leaf size. Smaller = ongoing problem. Continue current care—don't overwater.
