The Phal abuse ends here.

Thanks, silken! After I posted, I went back and read about ten previous pages of posts, which covered a lot of what I was asking. I went to "repotme.com" and will purchase some clear, double pots, and some of their phal mix and then repot my orchids again. (I wish they 'Miracle Grow' wouldn't market 'orchid mix' that really is not a suitable medium!) Also, from reading everything, I think my orchids are getting too much light. I have them in a south window and it is very bright all day, sometimes sunny. I figured more was better (!). I will put the mini blinds down so that they get diffused light. Last question, assuming I do everything correctly, how long should it take to restore their roots and bring them back to optimum health? Love this board/thread!
