| Aliette, I know that you must have spent a tremendous amount of time repotting these Phals, but unless there is drainage in those bowls, it will most likely rot the roots. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but I know that you want the best for them. There just will not be any air to the roots, and it will kill them. You could always get some lucky bamboo for your bowls? They love sitting in water. It does look really nice. Maybe you could find a way to drill holes in them?? I just don't know, maybe someone will have an idea.

"If nature ever showed her playfulness in the formation of plants, this is visible in the most striking way among the orchids. They take on the form of little birds, of lizards, of insects, a man, a woman, sometimes like a clown who excites our laughter. They represent the image of a lazy tortoise, a melancholy toad, an agile, ever-chattering monkey. Nature has formed orchid flowers in such a way that, unless they make us laugh, they surely excite our greatest admiration." Jacob Breynius
