phal dying stem question

Hello,
I've had this stem deterioration happen on 2 previous phals, and now this one. Does the stem/s just decide that it's time to die back - or, and more likely, what am I doing wrong?

Ray's plan does make more sense to me - as mentioned above that the wick process would be more effective for smaller tighter media.

Plus, I suspect that Ray is old and wise.

Will this pot system work for SH?

I've been using these "self watering pots" lately with pretty good success - using orchiata pinus radiata bark as a medium, figuring that I could move to clay pellets if the pots worked out.

den. health question..

The spots are dry - and don't appear to be spreading.
So I think I'll take the "no need to do anything" advice to heart.
Thanks very much :)
