Repot

First pic is arrival on 4/3/08
Second pic: Repot 4/15/08

The phal arrived planted in sphag moss. The roots were very healthy & some of them very pink in color. I don't do well growing in sphag, so after nearly 2 weeks of acclimation, I repotted into a mix of coir, charcoal & perlite in a small slotted clear pot.

That's a very nice looking plant, Sharyn.

At least three of us have had bouts with limp leaves. Mine (one of two I got from Jerry) has kept its slumped shape, but the leaves have gotten firm again. It seems to be doing well. Patti, among others, is still struggling with the limp leaves.

How is your coming?

I agree with Norm--your plant looks really good and healthy,Sharyn I had one leaf out of the four that took a "dive"--and now is it pointing down instead of standing up like the others It is firm as well, but I am still wondering about it and am considering putting it in S/H if I can find small enough hydroton--( I don't really want to order it, but am counting on a little hydroponics store around the corner from me.) The leaves themselves are so beautiful that I will go to extremes to see that it lives a long and happy life
