Opinions on S/H candidacy

[helleborus_niger]

Hello! I am a novice orchid grower who does my best with phals I have been given or found locally (your typical grocery store variety). Here in Idaho we have VERY low humidity and short seasons. My phals have been with me some 7+ years and have, for the most part, done exceptionally given the torture they live through.

I moved in with my boyfriend recently who had several orchids (3 yrs old or so). His orchids have never rebloomed, but have limped along. The pic I've included is of his phal (still in its original pot!) that I wanted to try on S/H. It seems like it's already living on that sort of system on its own anyway. Does anyone have any opinions or tips? It isn't thriving as is (obviously) and I feel like a change might be ideal. It may inspire me (if it's a success) to experiment on my own orchids.


Thanks for the advice!
