I can't tell if it's getting new roots or not...no new air roots, but I'll take leaves for sure! :)

You will know when it's getting new roots. It will look like a small bump growing on the stem. I have a Phal growing a very new root, I'll take a pic of it and post it for you when my lights come on.

thank you!

I was afraid that when I repotted this one I'd lose it since it didn't seem to be very healthly to me...but it looks like its coming back!

Phals are pretty tough. This one is my first Phal. It looks awful. Wasn't getting enough light, got overwatered, took me a while to figure out what it wanted. It's actually kind of touchy compared to the others. Wants more light, less water and more air flow in the pot. I had to make a pot for it. Standard slotted pots don't have enough holes. Now, finally, the darned thing is growing. I doubt I will see blooms from it this year though.

It looks pretty good tho!

Yea, I think they have to be since my first one has survived over three years now without me knowing what I was doing! LMAO
