A couple of comments: It's hard to say for sure from the photo, but it looks like it's planted a bit too deeply. The base of the growths and the rhizome that connects them should be at the surface of the medium, not under it. If I'm seeing that incorrectly, great!

Keep it warm, in very high humidity, and no more than phalaenopsis light levels until it starts new growth.

I'll check it when I get home Ray i wasn't sure if i planted it too deeply or not. I'll try to take a better picture also. But i think you are correct.

Also should it get just water or light fertilizer with KLN or ST?
