Phals in S/H - a few root questions

[JeffreyR]

I've recently moved a few phals (regular and mini) to S/H. After reading here, I realize that I have a few questions about what I did.

Most instructions say to move to S/H when there is "new root growth" or "active root growth". My phals had rapidly growing healthy roots in the pots. To me that was active/new root growth. But they do NOT all have brand new roots coming from the base of the plant. Did I make a mistake in moving to S/H when there were no brand new roots forming from the base?

My phals have a varied amount of areal roots. I left these all as areal roots in the new S/H environment. Can I / should I have put these into the LECA just like all the other root? Many posts say they are well suited to that environment.

And, assuming I messed up on one or both of these, is there a good solution?

Thanks in advance.
