Default Help with Neo Falcatas!

Hello Everyone!

I hope you're all enjoying your day. I'm having a problem with a few of my Neos. We had to do an emergency repotting due to some root rot. They were potted in sphagnum moss. They also had some pesky soil mites in there as well (tiny, tiny black dots that love to hang out on their roots. Not spider because they never made webs or were on the leaves).

We trimmed the dead roots and replanted them in some pretty bad sphagnum we later made the mistake of buying. Now those and my paph are covered, absolutely covered in mold. We sprayed them with some neem.

My question is, we are absolutely having the hardest time finding the AAAA New Zealand sphagnum that sells a decent amount and doesn't charge the price of your first born. I'm afraid we are going to lose them quickly if we don't do something fast as shipping takes awhile. Is there something we can pot them in the meantime that is just as good as moss? Does anyone know of a good source to get the better sphagnum? Would it be better to just mount them (obviously not the paph) after having rot? They are like little children.

Any advise from you seasoned orchid lovers will be very much appreciated! I'm not quite sure what to do because I know mold can be quite serious.

Thank you so much!
