Cheers, eboat

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.

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 ,
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!

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...
