Another thing to consider is humidity. Most Phal. species come from hot, extremely humid jungles in Southeast Asia with few exceptions. Mounting an already dehydrated plant, then hanging it in the house isn’t likely to benefit it in the short term. They are also likely to lose more roots once potted in a different medium, as the old roots, however sad they may be, were acclimated to, and grown in something different. In my house I struggle to keep enough humidity around Phal’s to keep them well hydrated. The kelpak should help, in my own collection it has given impressive results. A probiotic such as Quantum Total may also help.
