I have made the transition myself from Moss into bark, but I did it slowly with a mix of bark and Moss to start, and then months later went to straight bark with no stress for them.

Thanks! I hope I'm successful with my two newest orchids. I didn't know that about transitioning phals. I threw away all the moss unfortunately. I guess I'll need to get more. I was just afraid that the moss would rot more of the roots. It had a lot of algae throughout it. I sprayed both with some Spray N'Grow hoping that would help with the transition some.
