Mike: Thanks for the link. I'm glad I went back a second time since I missed parts, 2,3,& 4 the first time around. Good information here.
Orchid126: Since your NJ climate is similar to mine, looks like 80-20 mix would be a good start. I'm not a moss fan, but I may try this mix on at least one phal.
Personally, I like using fir bark, just felt that the stuff I have on hand is too large and just found fine & medium bark online. I'll add some charcoal, perlite or moss. I'm starting to experiment with mixes.
Most of my Phals. are still budding & blooming and have never been repotted. One is in moss, several in a bark mixture. These posts have given me a good starting point. Thanks for your input.
