Viia and to the OB !!! That white Phal of your look really pretty. I just wouldn't keep it in the moss because since it retains so much humudity it might cause you root rot. Try repotting into bark. All of my Phals are in bark and they are growing roots like crazy. with your chid and you'll see that soone it won't be just one

Thanks I already have the itch haha I want to get another orchid but not now, it's so cold in my apartment in winter so probably not the best time to introduce new plants.

When I got back home after a month long vacation I took the orchid out of its moss prison... geez that moss was packed in there soooo tightly I had to break it open with my nails!! All the roots have turned totally black and I cut the worst off so now about 6-8 mostly dead roots are left. Really hope it recovers.
