Les, did you soak your bark before use? Depending upon the quality of bark it can be difficult to aclimate a phal to bark after it has been used to sphag. You may need to soak/water for a few weeks or months instead of merely pouring water through - again depends upon the quality of bark used. You may also have to water at a different frequency than what you were previuosly doing? Just keep an eye on the turgor of the leaves - if you see any striation or other signs of loss of vigor you may need to adjust your regimin. I don't mean to alarm - but just something I've noted a few times over the years that "could" help. Enjoy!
