new roots on phal question

[mi xiao]

hi everyone.

i am sure this is a very basic question for you, maybe even a little stupid, but i need to ask.

my newest plant (i believe a phal) has been doing VERY WELL!
it has sprouted ***2*** new roots (approx. 1.5 cm long) along the bark mixture line.
also, there is the possible keiki on the top of the old spike (the keiki also has 2 roots approx 1 cm long).

i have been misting the plant daily and watering prn.

i replanted the orchid approx 1 month ago as soon as i bought it. all this action has happened since i brought it home.

my question is do i need to worry about the new roots not being buried by the bark mixture now? should i top up the mixture? or is it ok to be out "in the open?"

pics to come, i don't have my digi camera right now. i really would like it as i would like to chronicle the growth. it seems like every morning the plant has a surprise for me!


we will worry about what to do with the possible keiki when the time comes....

thanks for your help!
