The orchid mix you have will work just fine. Just sift it through a window screen to sift out all the fine material. Anything smaller than a BB should be discarded. You could make it work without sifting but it would take too long to explain. I'd put the leafless phal in a small Tupperware with a wad of cotton or paper towel in the bottom kept wet with a lid and I'd put some holes in the lid and sides. That way it would be humid without being wet all the time and give it a little heat. Hopefully a basal keiki will sprout. But if they were the HD or Lowes plants I'd chalk it up to learning and get a couple new ones.
