Good for you Mike........you got your's going! Mine was doing very well until this summer. Unfortunately, due to pressing family issues, I was neglectful and found out VERY quickly that this one will not tolerate getting too dry, not even for a short time. So, you guessed it, I let it get too dry. After I rehydrated it, within a week I noticed that the leaves started dropping off, one by one, until there was nothing left. When I emptied it from its pot, I found all the roots dried up.

This is such a lovely phal. I may try another one. The foilage is so interesting and the blooms are gorgeous. Hope the rest of you are having good results. Good luck.
