How do I stop killing my phals

[King_of_orchid_growing:)]

BTW, the longer I've been on the OB, the more I've realized it's just easier for me not to advise people to grow mounted or potted definitively.

It was just easier to suggest either mounting or potting and throw in some evidence of them growing in the wild, and letting them figure out what they want to do. If they want to do S&H that's fine too, but that's a whole different ball game that I'm not familiar with so I won't talk about it like some others could.

It's not like mounting a Phal doesn't work either. Potting a Phal can work too, but there're some basics to know as well.

I also push for a different method of growing, especially if they've tried one way and bombed. At least they're not doing the same thing they did to fail, all the while expecting successful outcomes. We all know the cliche...

"Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results is the definition of insanity."

The one thing I can say is, to date I haven't had success with a Phal grown in full moss yet.
