need advise for my phal

[Cactuseed]

honestly your phal looks fine.
I've read throught the responses and have to put my 2c in. This is a great board but there are some real blowhards giving questionable advice. Sad but true.
My 2c :
- your phal looks fine. leaves will yellow & die from the bottom up, its normal. If its happening slowly, its probably fine. Your roots look fine in your later pics.
- Sphagnum moss is great medium for phals. Eventually though, Root growth will compact the medium such that the roots can't get air. What to do? Pick all that sphag out of the root ball, wash the sphag, add some perlite and repot.
- Generally not a good idea to leave water in the crown on purpose. You want the surface areas to dry off after watering. Are we actually arguing this?
