My growing order of Phals...

This is one that really likes to be mounted, and hates deep pots. It's also a cooler grower than most phals, further compounding the wet roots and evaporative cooling problem. Celebensis also likes to be mounted, but I've found it to be less finicky with having its roots in a pot, so I've had better luck with mine. It's also a warmer grower, which makes being pot bound easier. However, this is in my grow setup, and everyone is different, especially if you're willing to try a mount

Thanks for the info. Then maybe I shall try both of these species when I feel a bit more comfortable with more finicky Phals. I want to try mounting a Phal or two on clay pots. Do you think these guys would like that or do they prefer other mounting media?

Unfortunately for all warmer loving Phals, my flat is a bit on the cool side with average temps between 20C-23C (68F-74.3F). It gets warmer when the sun is shining directly on the window, but the temps decline rather rapidly after that. It will get warmer now during summer though and one window have higher average temperature than the other. How much, I don't know so I suppose I'll have to buy another thermometer.
