Perfect root moisture content

[Rob189]

Hey guys.

I seem to be in an ideal situation where i can control how wet the roots on my phal get, but having it grow on a rock, with no substrate, next to a miniature water feature.

Ive been told to mist the roots twice a day, but that doesnt seem to be enough.

I can very easily have water flow over a couple of the roots during the day, but is this a safe practice?

Alternatively, i can add a bunch of sphagnum moss inbetween the roots and let it wick up water from the ittle puddle below the orchid. This approach feels a little uncontrolled though.

Any thoughts?
