Hi, with Phals I just use straight medium bark, anything 'heavier' doesn't dry out well enough in my climate

Thanks for the update - this is SOOO encouraging.
So looking back, what did you do - if anything? - to encourage a root growth on the keiki?

Awsome teen!

Hey W.O. Well, I carried on with light mistings, but I don't think that really accelerated it! In the end, I think it was just patience (which was suggested by many ) that got me/ us there in the end. Even after the first root started to grow, it took a while for the next to start, and so she wasn't detached for a long while even after the first root!
