What media to use for rootless phal?
A month or so ago, I received some sick phals from a relative, and I was determined to save them. This one phal in particular was potted in bark, and desiccated from under-watering. I repotted, cut the old roots and let it be. It has a new leaf growing,but I unpotted today to see only 7 old (not so green, but alive) stubby roots, but still no new ones. It turns out, the transition from dry to moist killed off some roots.
What should I pot it in? I don't have any sphagnum and I'm afraid to kill the poor thing by keeping it in bark. I was thinking about leaving it in a glass vase, with the roots sitting above (not touching) water, kind of like some people do with vandas. Would this work?
I'll try to upload a photo when I get a chance
