Jumping into S/H

[billc]

khozmo, I see the same thing as you. My phals in s/h always seem dry on top, compared to pictures I see people posting.
Ted, It's still early and I'm still on my 1st cup of coffee, but I can't quite picture what you're saying about inverting the clay pot in the bottom of the container.
MT-Phal, My phals do great in s/h. The dead roots will wash away in time. The algae look will kind of grow on you after a while.(no pun intended)
