Moss can be your friend or your worst enemy. Depends on how you look at it and how you work with it. I find moss to be an excellent medium for Phals. I also like the Coir mix. To me they're both the same in the moisture consistency and retention. What makes moss an enemy is that most retail chains pack the stuff too much and cause a plant's demise. Also when using moss as a medium, every month or two I "fluff" the pots, so that the medium doesn't pack in on itself and smother the roots. Use too little of the stuff and you're watering more frequently, that's all.
