ok, i gotta follow up then. we recently got a phal keiki that is quite developed with about 4 plants together and a huge rootball of aerial roots. none of the roots showed growing tips and there are no root tips poking out of the base, so the only thought was to mount it till spring and spray and wait till new growth. well now a couple of the leaves are yellowing at the tips and im afraid it might be struggling. so, what’s been your experience in this situation? im afraid if we put it in media the aerials will turn to mush, but at the same time leaving it on a mount like this is something we haven’t really successfully done yet, and we don’t wanna experiment with this particular plant. suggestions?? tia

edit, these are also our first foray into keikis, so there’s that....
