I've had my phal for fourteen years using MSU fertilizer. I'm just curious about this one and what might actually be in it. I might sign up for the trial just to get a bottle and see.

Great, thanks. I'm wondering if there was moisture already in the bag when I got it and has since gone moldy. My one and only orchid is now around thirteen years old so I certainly would like to...

The roots ABOVE the media have mold?? I think you need to improve air circulation in your growing area and buy other plants (or an air purifier) that will clean the air as well. It sounds like the...

Both of you are actually correct and incorrect. You do not **place** roots into water, but you can **allow** them to grow into it and they will be fine. Most orchids have roots which will adapt to...

What else to grow in SH?

Are there any other houseplants one can grow in SH? I have a lot of PA left over from a big order years ago and I'd like to put it to good use if possible.

One of my phal's new roots (newly potted into NZ sphagnum) got to the pot wall, and instead of heading down turned up and is trying to escape. Is there any way to turn it back downwards?
