Mini phals in bark or moss???

[Jodsbods19]

Hi there!

I’m a newbie, with a dwindling orchid collection- from 13 phals I am now down to 8 (a long, sad story).

Anyway the three newest are beautiful no ID mini Phals. Their buds were beginning to blast (going yellow and wrinkly), so I have reported them out of the moss plug they were in. The roots are pretty good.

After reading on here that bark is the best media for phals I used orchiata medium bark for them, and put them in proper orchid pots, being careful not to over pot.

But they have dried out soooo quickly!! I’ve had problems with Mold so I have a little fan near them for airflow. I read on here to leave them for a week before watering, but many of the roots had gone wrinkly and dry after 4 days.

So I guess my question is should I leave them in bark or put them into Sphagnum moss? The pots are really small.

Can’t tell you much about my environmental conditions, as I am waiting for my thermometers with humidity readers to arrive. The temps are probably in the range of 17-25 degrees centigrade, and the humidity outside (according to my weather app) is around 90%.

Thanks in advance!
