But you can also repot in bark mix if you are not comfortable with moss. It will need more watering if the media dries up faster. Look at videos on YouTube to learn repotting Phals.

I actually have skewers in all of my phals already, and have repotted most of them from sphag into bark. But they had been looking sad or had been in their sphag for 1 year or more. These guys seem quite happy. I think I may just loosen the moss and stick them back in. They've got their skewers in them, and at least I'd be able to have a look at the roots in the inner portion of the moss. Should I move them to bark, or put some in there? Or just leave them be? Will it hurt the one with the bloom spike growing on it to mess with it?
