[PhalPal]

buttOn I'm so happy to see this thread revived! It is now many months later and all of my plants are still doing great, even my Catts. I had a beautiful Cymbidium year (even won a ribbon!) and for the first time ever have double spikes on a few Phals. I need to add that said Phals are now under T5 lights in plastic pots; I am sure this has helped them considerably as well.
I have added tree fern to my mix to increase fluffyness and add air pockets. I was told it will keep any mix (especially spraghum) from packing down.

FINALLY everything has evolved to a mix that works for me in our dry weather and all are in plastic pots so I can see what is going on. Now I'm DONE, right?? Done? No more changes/experiments/evolutions??!!
