Beautiful blooms. Definitely a keeper. I know what you mean by "depends on the plant" as I have one phal with only one root. No matter what I do, it just won't get any better. I've had it for a year like that and I've tried everything, water culture, SH, moss, etc. It had a terminal spike when I bought it. sometimes I feel like it just doesn't want to live. I've had other phals with no roots at all and all bounce back fine.
