Hi from Philippines

[Zildjian]

hi boyong, your phals seedlings are they from a flask?

just keep your phals in the shade with access to morning sun. it's good to use charcoal, fern chips, or osmunda fern fiber if you're the type of person who likes to water daily. rice hull is a good medium too. some of my phals are mounted specially the schilleriana/stuartiana (philippine specie). the philippine specie phals with variegated leaves i just discovered from my bohol vacation are better mounted on wood. it's sprouting keiki growth from the roots like mushrooms.

Anyway, I'm purchasing those imported phals from taiwan at a seller in manila seedling bank right after it drops all the flower. They have plenty at the back of their yard and cost is cheaper compared to 700 to 900 pesos if in full bloom. i had one now with a new spike under my care. the spike though branched out from an old spike and is now around 2 inches long.
