How are You growing your Phals?

Hi to all

Anyone here growing their Phals in sphagnum? Mixed with? Did you switch to sphag. after less than ideal results with another medium and if so, what improvements did you find after switching?

I'm thinking of switching from bark to equal parts of sphag./tree fern pieces and about 1/4 perlite but before I do, I'd really like hearing what others have to say and what differences/improvements you've noticed after switching from __?__ to sphag?

And in the alternative, has anyone tried the mix I've mentioned and gotten bad results?
