I have used 3 stones and it has always given me good results. When the plant is stable, the stones are removed. The important thing is that it does not move to take root quickly.

Yes. That's idea behind the shells. I remove them once the plant is stable. I also had used a larger shell to put at the base of a phal that was growing sideways. I know that's the natural way that they grow in the wild, but I wanted it to grow upright due to lack of space, and no room for a sprawling plant.
