Hello - Phalaenopsis Propagation and Transpanting Questions

[gitano]

Thank you very much for the instructions estacion seca. Your comments only endear me to this plant even further. It not only has survived my abuse, it has almost 'flourished"!

I have a couple of more questions if I might be so bold.

1) Many of the aerial roots are "areal", meaning that they are considerably above the level of the "crown" of the main plant. Getting them "below grade" will be a challenge. Should I just try to get their tips into the new sphagnum?

2) Should I sever the keiki and start it anew? I could easily get its roots in a sphagnum/bark medium.

3) Can I use the naturally growing sphagnum from my property? Is there any harm associated with that?

Trying not to be a pest.
