Hi Philip, thank you. I already have the 3-in-1 that was suggested earlier on the way, but I'm not opposed to just hanging on to it (I have quite a few plants anyway and I tend to "rescue" discounted...

Ok, thank you. I wasn't quite sure what to use for a traditional potting when I first got it, since it's so small and the orchid bark I found in my local store was so big, but I'll take another look...

I'll try my best! The longest are probably barely 2 inches, perhaps a bit less. It's an itsy bitsy orchid! :biggrin:

Great, thank you. I have some fresh sphagnum sitting around and I'll give this a shot tomorrow after I wash it. So the sphagnum should only touch the tips of the roots?

Yeah, some of them, especially in the center, have always looked sick to me. I just am not sure how to hydrate it enough without making that more of a problem. When I asked earlier I was told not to...

The stem has always looked like that, even after I tried to let it fully air out for some time after first purchasing it (because all of the orchids at that store had readily apparent fungus). I have...

Ok, thank you. Since I have a non-draining container for it, I was thinking I could just soak it, like how I normally do waterings, for maybe 15 minutes or so, then rinse it all off?

Thank you! Yeah, looks like a bunch of stuff was hiding under the leaf that just came off. *sigh* I'm going to try the Bayer's since I really want to stop the leaf loss as soon as possible.

Hey guys! Just checking in and wondering if I can pick your brain about my mini phal one more time.

I've continued soaking for several hours each day, and over the weeks, the top three leaves have...

I was hoping I could keep them, which is why I left them! I just didn't want to leave something that would simply rot or something similar, and wanted to consult some better-trained eyes.

Ok, thank you. Should I try to treat just in case? I don't see any bugs, but I'm not sure if that's enough.
