Name: Lisa
Iowa (Zone 5a)
I potted up my unintentionally purchase Phal. Since the disaster with my first Phal I'm not sure if I did it correctly or not. I'm posting photos of what I've done thus far. I'm not sure if I've put her stem too deep. I cut off the half spoke but only to the next to last node(see photo). The full spike I'm leaving temporary since I'm using it to steady the Phal in the pot. I have not watered her in. I soaked the media over night and added Leca to it to keep me from packing it too tight. One quarter of the bottom of the pot is filled with Leca. Since the pot it came out of was a 4" ( and the bottom half had not roots). This pot is 5.5" diameter at the top and 3.5" diameter at the bottom and 4.13" deep
