Phal making new roots!!!
 
Well, the Phal looked like it was a little lacking, so I looked and saw some rotten roots through the clear pot. I unpotted it to cut them off, again, and lo and behold, there was a new root starting!!!!! So, do I pot it back up and put it back in the spot where it was doing well?

OF COURSE NOT.

I put it in one of the dart frog vivs. I figured the humidity and NO soil might be better than the bark. We'll see. It still only cost me what, $1.75??? However, I did put the other phal in the "good" phals clear pot, hoping that will help it.

We'll see!!!

I love orchids, what a great challenge to learn and play with all new circumstances and options!!!!

It must be like what an addict goes through, I know I shouldn't "fix what's not broken" but I couldn't stop myself from putting it in the viv. Not that it's permanent in there, it's just set on some wood, but arrrgh!

Apparently, moving it to the vivarium was a good idea. It's growing a new leaf! Yipee!
