Problems with phalaenopsis orchid - Yellow leaves and blooms dying

[stefpix]

No leaves, no roots just cut flowers left...
not much you can do - maybe buy another one on sale... I bought a few at Lowes for a dollar or 2 after they bloomed. some had rotting roots - one died, 2 are good, 2 are in between.
I am trying water culture and maybe will try to mount one on some piece of firewood or branch if I find it...

Saw these huge white Phals at a fancy florist - they were all in moss [gateway to the grave].
I just went to Trader Joe's in Brooklyn and many of their nice Phals were starting to get yellow leaves/ rot. The Dendrobiums were in way better shape: they were potted in either cut to shape coconut husk or wood. looked very healthy. Trader Joe's has the cheapest prices...
Now that you know it is better to try with a better start...

I would really like to know how well this would work. Most of what I have read would suggest that phals do not do too well in water culture, but, I would really, really like to try this SUCCESSFULLY!!

Best of luck and I look forward to your instructions when you have mastered the art.
