Dear Liraz,
It's can't help. It's already dead.

Re: fusca need help!
 

The media looks like very wet.

Re: fusca need help!
 

i was thinknin that also..and maybe put a clear plastic cup over it so it can get some humidity

i think it's already dead~

Re: fusca need help!
 

could come back from the roots. ive heard that even if the vine of the plant is dead, u should still try and take care of it. after 8 months of taking care of a dead plant, this lady got 3 basal plants from the roots. just somethin to think about

Re: fusca need help!
 

I see the stems already rotten, from the inside to out side.so i think the root already rotten too.
this just my view

Re: fusca need help!
 

So if neps turn black do they have any chance of surviving?They don't have rhizome right...

Re: fusca need help!
 

Oh no,one of my nep looks far worse than that.

Hi Marvin,
If shoot was turn to black and stem have sign to black too. It's hard to survive. This plant is small and don't produce rhizhome in this species.
Cheers, eboat

Re: fusca need help!
 

I agree ... this seems to be root rot. Even if it has a rhizom it wouldn't come back ... it got poisened from the roots upwards.

Re: fusca need help!
 

thanks for all the tips!
I agree with the root rot theory,
right now it is getting worse only the preliminary two small leafs left green and all the others died.
i decided not to cover it with bag because it is inside terrarium, an humidity is fine!
so i dried the soil as much as i can and hope for good!
i thought that it is fungus attack from the leafs,but now i can see that it is coming from the roots. maybe it is fungus attack on the roots.
i guess that i don't have luck with N. fusca :thumbdown:,
last summer i boiled/cooked in the hot Israeli summer 100 fresh grown seedlings of N.fusca because i forgot to make holes in the covering nylon!:blush:

Hi Lirazr,

I think you still have chance to get your plant survive. Try to cut off the top part which is rotted and left the bottom 2 leaflets planted in bit dry and fine media. I would suggest you sphagnum moss. Just keep the media little dry and keep humidity around 60%. High humidity may caused to further rot on you plant. Try to apply very light fungicide too. Hope it help... :smile:
