My first Phal in my first S/H set-up

I also think it is too deep. The place where the roots start to come out should be at the line of the top of the lecca beads, it can actually be higher. Phal roots also do better with light because they photosynthesize. I would put them in a dark cover pot only if they were on a table and guests were coming over.

Alot of the bottom roots died off when I first got it. (See the thread I linked in my OP).

A lot of the new roots are very near the base of the plant just below the leaves you see in the photo.
