All of my Phals are in clay balls (aliflor) and they are all doing well. A few of them started out real bad because they were in sphag from home depot...so after repotting into aliflor, they have all perked up quite a bit. I do think that potting into the LECA takes a little bit for the Phal to adjust, because the media is so different than the moss or bark. When I repot mine, I tend to unpot a couple months later to check for any roots that decided they didn't like the new media. Clip them off, and repot again. All of my Phals have many new roots that have no issues with the LECA, it just seems like the existing roots some of them adapt, and others do not.
