I just unpotted it because the soil was getting compacted. I took a pic before putting it into fresh soil. I wouldn't have cleaned the roots as well, but found that the plant was rooted in a small plug that was inserted into the bigger pot. If I caused it more harm, well that would be sad, but it had all the roots stuffed in a tube the size of my thumb.

Here it is. Anybody want to guess if it will survive to make the first leaf? It has been like this since early November. At first it had yellow leaves attached. They fell off with a little grittiness between the petiole/main stem, but hasn't change since in spite of being in 70-80F temps, in the same conditions that anthurium crystallinum is enjoying with new growth.
