Need to vent my anger and frustration at my poor growing skills

I didn't see Ross's post since I was busy writing my previous one.
None of my plants are in sphag. Sorry if I seemed a bit unclear before. The sphag was down in the middle of the bark on this one. And what I want to do is put a layer of sphag on the surface to give the remaining roots some moisture. The top cm of bark dries out too quickly to keep those alive. They are already fairly dried out as it is

Actually, I have 3 phal seedlings in sphag, and they are doing great.
