 when to water ... Hello guys, How often should you water a repotted phal ??? also ... I repotted my phals in clay pots, w/ SCHULZ bark potting mix, what's a good way to tell when your plant needs watering when you use just bark as medium?? *I noticed bark dries up quick      |

| I've used the Schultz fir bark and alone it seems to dry out sooner than a mixture of bark with perlite and pete moss. Phals. don't like to get completely dried out. Clay pots also dry out faster. Try Cynthia's skewer method. It's a sure method of knowing when to water. If in doubt, wait another day or two. Skewer use for watering of orchids |
