Switching a Phal from a Mud Mix to Sphag...

[Ray]

I agree... I'd take it out of the mud mix now and put it in moist sphag. There should be no shock if you're careful not to damage roots.

Removing the medium is easy -

• Water it thoroughly
• pull it from the pot
• gently shake it to dislodge the outer "mud"
• using a gently spray nozzle (I use the one in the kitchen sink. Don't tell my wife.), you can easily rinse the rest of it out of the root mass.
