My Pink Princess looks worse every day. When I bought it , it had 3 times the amount of leaves. It is in a super chunky mix. I am thinking maybe I should repot without pole. The pole is making it very hard to keep water correct. Then later, if I save it put a cutting on the pole. I can repot in clear orchid pot with not chunky or less chunky mix.

Is it had to guess it’s probably getting over watered from the moss pole if you pour water down it to keep it moist.
Id repot without the pole, it’s not even climbing yet so no need for such a thick moss pole. I like to use wood for my philos so they don’t drown
It probably has root rot, but not just because you have the moss pole. Plenty of people keep moss poles without getting root rot, no need to replace it completely. But for now you should def check the roots
I repotted. Roots didn’t look too bad. I was surprised. But soil was soggy wet. I repotted without some mix I already had ready. Mix isn’t wet but isn’t dry. Should I water it? Also am I wasting my time? Should I just toss it? There are also these rolled looking leaves behind a couple half dead ones. Seems like might be beyond saving.
