Construction workers were clearing an area for playground equipment. As they were doing so, they tore out this Hong Kong Orchid. I couldn't believe it. When asked what they were going to do with it, they said the district will handle it. My wife sent for me and I immediately wrapped what was left of the roots with a plastic bag. I moistened the roots a little. It was planted about 2 years ago and was very nice. Now I've tried to grow this same plant twice and failed. Mainly due to the hot summers and the trees were very young. When I planted this tree, I used B1 and some acidic fertilizer. Is there anything else I can do? Do you think it has a fighting chance? It was out of the ground for 30 min before I wrapped it up.
