I am a newbie here but seems that with the phals at least, there seems to be a big problem with the crown rot.
Now, I'm thinking, could it be prevented partly by not planting the orchid too deep in the potting media?
I try to be very careful watering, but notice that one always gets water in the lower leaves. Soooo, I raised the plant and left a few of the upper roots partly exposed and am not having that problem anymore.
I should say it was easy to do as I had just repotted it not long ago.
