Hi Lisa,

yes, leaving plants for too long in the same sphagnum easily leads to root rod. For such a case, I have a special use for plastic bottles: You cut the upper half away and fill the lower half with wet seramis. Then you place a layer of sphagnum on the seramis. Cut away the rotted roots, put coal powder or cinnamon on the cut areas. Finally, put the Phal on the sphagnum and the set the upper half of the bottle on the lower half.
