If you don't want to try the water culture, I recently had two Phals in a very similar situation. After removing all of the rotten roots, there were none left. I got some very, very small pots...

On one of the leaves, the damage did spread. This morning, the whole leaf had pretty much turned to green goo. In fact, when I touch it, it just started falling apart. I removed the leaf at the...

Also, I'm using fir bark right now, but I think it's a medium bark so maybe I need something more coarse. I tried looking for the leca, thinking that might be better for me, but I wasn't able to...

Thanks, everyone. They were in clear pots with holes in the sides, and we've had a nice breeze lately, so I thought the air circulation was OK. I've sprayed them with Listerine and moved them both...

OK, here's a photo. I read that you can usually tell a root from a spike because the spike looks like it has a little mittle on the end. This doesn't have that, but I don't know if that's something...

New spike?

One of my phals has a little green growth right next to its spike, which is currently blooming. It's much higher up than the roots that are currently coming in. Could it be a new spike? Do they...

I'm also a newbie and don't know too much yet, but the most important thing I wish I had known was that I need to move plants out of moss immediately. Moss and I just don't mix! If I had known...

The actual high today is supposed to be 99, but there has been a pretty good breeze all day. And the humidity has been between 70 and 80% lately. So I guess they'll be OK outside in the shade. ...

How hot is too hot?

Hi! I was just wondering whether someone can tell me how hot is too hot for orchids (phals, specifically) to be outside. I read that they like temps between 75-85 during the day. I'm in Florida...
