Moss Experiment Goes Haywire--Help

[Blondie]

I got some new phals lately that are in moss. They are doing GREAT, so I decided to put two new ones in moss.

I bought moss at the store and also some bark for the other new orchids (onc./dens). I put the two new phals in the moss. Given, the containers they were in were soft plastic with tiny holes at the bottom that didn't really let them breathe. So today I look and BAM, one is half dead. Had to cut off all the roots because the moss was so wet. It's pretty leaves are yellowing. The other one is "OK" but the roots are half black. And get this--the moss was still completely wet. Super wet. And I watered them 2 weeks ago and haven't since because the moss was So Very Wet. Adding to the drama, the new phals were being quarantined, so they were in an area with little light...oops.

I cut off all the roots of the Super Dead Phal and put it in a baggie with a little cinnamon splashed on and a little water. I'm afraid to put the moss I have in there because I think the moss is the problem?? I put the other one in a more breathable plastic container and removed half the moss. Then I put them in a sunny spot.

SO.

Am I using the wrong moss? Attached is a picture of the kind I used and the two phals. Then I'm attaching a photo of the bark I used in the onc/den pots. Question: Can I use that bark for the phals? I don't know if phals like the mix that has charcoal in it or not?

Many thanks!!
