I bought one of those carousel planters and repotted my phal in it in fir bark (no moss) three weeks ago. In this planter I can't see the roots which I use as an indicator of how the orchid is doing and when to water, etc. It dries out quicker now which I'm fine with but I can't examine it's root system except for the roots that are coming up through the bark and are looking pretty bad. I'm not sure if they're air roots or not. Plus one leaf is starting to turn yellow. I'm not sure if it's just in it's normal growth cycle or if it's my fault. Also one leaf has curled badly. I'm not sure anymore how to judge when to water since it dries out so fast now. The humidity has been fine and I moved it further away from direct sun light in case that was a problem. I am really bummed.
