Are you sure those surface roots are dead? I have a couple of phals and when I water them, the roots turn green (they're also planted in moss).

Phal Moisture - I'm Confused

In some recent posts, it's mentioned that phals like to dry out between waterings. Yet, I've also read in the past that they don't like to be too dry...not like Cattleyas.

Which is right?
