@aliceinwl Okay, so i have all 18 of my orchids in my room. I have a designated area for my catts but i put other orchids there as well. The catt area remains a constant 69-75 degrees F. Where i put my dormant afterdark (near the window) ranges from 70 - 49 degrees F throughout the day. Now where I have my phals I actually dont monitor the temp but im going to assume it falls between those ranges because they are literally between where i keep my catts and where i keep my afterdark. Again, i know not all phals are the same, but I have two other phals in the same area that I got around the same time but they are noIDs that had similar issues adjusting only now they are literally flourishing. Today i looked up root burn and figured that maybe it could be that because i noticed that there is also a lot of salt build up on top of the leca. Maybe the salt accumulation is further dehydrating the plant? Any thoughts on that?

@SouthPark, it didnt really have any long roots to begin with but the growing ones are starting to submerge. However i noticed that the black roots shown in the picture stoped growing almost like their growth is stunted yet they are still quite firm. as for the pot its in i had to repot it lastly in a self watering pot. I was thinking about doing that earlier but i saw another method to watering those plants potted in self watering pots by dunking the inner pot water and then completely draining the pot and not have it constantly sit in water for a few days. As for now i reduced the amount of water i allow the inner pot to sit in to prevent it from rotting. Im also going to buy a mini fan for more ventilation. What i dont understand is that how can there be rot if my room is usually in the 20% humidity level. I needed to buy a humidifier for myself to bring it up to 60% in here but its not on all the time.
