Hi Gloria, that sounds fairly easy (I love easy). The two I got from OrchidWeb are in bark but in a few months, I might just switch them over.

Thanks for the info!

If you wanted You could use a clay pot with a bark mix for the main potting and set it in a plastic pot about an ich wider on all sides and then set that in a saucer of water to supply a constant supply of moisture as well as extra humidity, most phrags like high humidity, which would keep the plants happy. Just remember to rinse the medium once in a while to keep it from rotting prematurely.
