Help! think i've killed it... :S

[LeanneS]

when i took it out, they were brown/white and mushy with the outer bit coming off, trimmed it down at first, but even up to the bulb was black and falling off, so gave up trying to salvage.. the other two remaining roots were fine cuz they were out of the potting medium.

Did also compare the mediums in both pots, and the phal which is fine, doesn't have so much small/mulchy sphagnum and nice large bits of bark, it's also looser in the pot.

Been looking at mounting too.. it seems the best way as the air can circulate and hopefully keep any fungus at bay. When you mist them though, is it worth using water with a bit of superthrive? or just to give it a soak in it, mount and then mist with regular water?
