Well if your growing conditions are on the dry side, repot into moss. The down side of moss is when it is packed into the pot. but it is a very good media if you pack it lightly. If you want to use bark, by all means do so. For a small (2 inch pot) I would use small size bark. For a 4 inch pot I would use 1/2 inch bark. The larger the bark the more you can water. If you use moss, which I do now quite a lot) all you need to do is water when the moss has dried out. If it is not packed into the pot tightly it temds to dry out fairly evenly. You can tell by the weight of the pot when it has dried. Phals can go without water for longer than most people think. I would repot right away if you have evidence of root rot already. There is no need not to. Just watch the presentation, remove the moss like I showed you, use whatever media works for you, and then water. Water whenever the pot becomes light or use the skewer method. Fertilize weekly, weakly. 1/2 strength every other watering or 1/4 strength every watering. Please let us know how you do.
