The one phal that's in trouble is potted in Hydroton (clay pellets) and coir/perlite/charcoal on top. The nursery where I was just at told me that while the phal is so stressed (one good root), to keep it dry for now and just moist where rooting should occur, we'll see... My oncidiums love the coir and believe it or not, so do my cacti. I'm conducting an experiment now with my Christmas Cactus...I cut off a few leafs and have them in the coir and they are stiff and growing beautifully. I'm onto something here with this coir.....love, love, love the stuff!
