Thanks and sorry to interfere.
Hi Carrie, I find that any new root growth(whether on an exsisting root or brand new) is what you need for the transfer to S/H to be sucessful. After a while, some of the old roots that had new growth may die off, but by that time the plant will be well established and won't miss that root. I have all my phals in S/H and they(and I) love it.
