photos 4 /15 and 5/15
Nevertheless, other photographs like this one which I extracted
a significant detail from, seemed a little brighter, with
some stems a little more turgescent than the whole plant.
We were in November at the time and the plant was now indoors, enjoying an
approximate 68°F temperature.
I asked Alain to place the plant in a bright spot inside the house, with no
direct sun though, at a temperature of approximately 64.40°F, far from
any source of heat so as not to worsen dehydration.
He agreed to spray the plant daily with water and to sprinkle the
pot, very cautiously at the beginning, not to run the risk of rotting
the underground part. The ground was to be fully dry between two waterings
and the plant to be watered both at the top as well as at the bottom of the
pot so that all roots could benefit from those waterings.
The future evolution of the plant would tell us the next steps…
Thanks to our close and sustained coordination, the rescue started
and a friendship was born.
I warned my friend that many stems of his plant were going to dry out and
fall so he was told to cut only the stems which were unquestionably dead and
keep only those which were rehydrating.
