I went through a lot of phals in the beginning, but have got it good now. Of course when I started I got bad ones with no good roots to begin with. Now, I check roots BEFORE I buy. No matter how they are potted, even if in bloom, I repot as soon as I get them. I use the clear pots with the slits in the sides and med. bark. If they came in the moss, I add a little to the bark, as they don't like the big change. I keep them in an east window and water about every two weeks. I do use the seaweed extract about once a month really watered down. I also use the Schultz fertilizer half strength every other watering. I have ten of them now and eight of them are blooming or in spike. I know everyone does it a different way. But this is really working for me.
I also have about 9 Catts that have me worried. They are beautiful, but will not bloom for me. I have them in a southwest window and use two grow lights also to make the days longer. Leaves are great with lots of new p bulbs. Just won't bloom so far for me. so I can feel for you. Hope this helps. Good luck.
