I am wondering if I should water my Phals in S/H more. I was shooting for once a week, since they don't like to be as wet as phrags. But the top 1/3 or more of my pots seems to be dry after a couple of days, and that is where most of the roots reside in my phals. I wonder also if the roots that find their way to the reservoir are going to be prone to rot? Does keeping the reservoir lower in the pot and watering more often counter any benefit I am getting from growing in S/H? Should I maybe adopt an every other day watering schedule for my phals, just like I do for my phrags? If you can't overwater, I guess the main problem is making sure you don't underwater. It never ends with orchids!
