Cheryl I used a plastic storage type container for the process - shallow and wide. It was soaked upside down, then drained, the crown was then dried off and placed back in the container on damp sphag. The sphag was dampened when needed. It was in the same area as the rest of the phals so same light, same everything. I never spritzed the leaves between the soak treatments. The most amazing thing is the leaves never dehydrated even with no roots on the plant.

It is important to soak all of the leaves, not just the upper portion but the undersides too. The phal in the link now has roots filling a 2" pot and needs to be up potted - it is on my very long "to do" list.
