I do the same thing Howard- trying to get them back inside the pots. Sometimes it works and sometimes it deosn't, they don't care and creep back out or just make more on top
Species phals are terrible in this regard - so I'm pretty much over the fact that orchids don't train well
I think its very natural for phals to make arial roots. But, in this case that sphagnum moss looks spent. I have to wonder from the photos if it not actually trying to get away from such wet media. It looks very broken down to me.
