Getting a phal to grow deeper roots

[Bruce Ah Sing]

To grow any orchid successfully one needs to study its natural habitat. Phalies are epiphytes. They grow best when roots are on top of any compost. The best I have seen were in north Queensland, Australia and grown in volcanic gravel in troughs and heavily fertilized

Years late here. Bruce ----- are you still around? Just asking here - because your Private Message function is disabled - basically unable to PM you (about an orchid you mentioned on orchidtalk years ago --- not on orchidboard).
