Question sphag and bag question

I started a phal in sphag and bag about 3 weeks ago. I checked its progress yesterday and found it to be growing a new leaf, but no new roots. It still has the single root that it started with. Any thoughts? Lisa

I've had one in a bag for three months, a new growth doing fine, but still no new roots. It's going to be awhile. Be patient and open the bag about once a week.
