The bulbo wasn't drying out fast enough and I found some mold growing near the bottom of the mount so I removed some of the moss and hope it's better now. I don't see any green root tips though...guess I'll just have to wait to see if it likes it yet.

I lost a phal after mounting it due to too mutch moss, the roots didnt get enougth air. After that i tried to reduce the moss on the other mounts, and encrease the humidity instead, by hanging them over my terrarium (sliders terrarium). The biggest one lost a lot of roots before i reduced the moss, and by now it has only two left. The mini i mounted just after i bougth it, seems to love the place, and are growing roots like crazy now!
I hope the big one will recover too, i just have to wait and cross my fingers, i think.
In my growing aerea, it was too little air-sirculation, and together with too mutch moss, that become dissaster.

Now, with a little less moss, more humidity and sirculation, i think they will thrive as well, not only survive.
