To grow phal without media

[nutgirl]

I have a sad phal that has been doing nothing for almost a year. It lost all it's leaves except 1 and has a few stubby roots also. I sphag n bag and other things but nothing happened. It was shriveled and soft. I found a thread by Sun rm.N.E. about water culture so I put it in a small jar of water. I change the water every 3-4 days. The roots now have little green tips, the leaves have firmed up and there is even a new leaf forming.

I would have never thought it possible.
