Good advice!


Phals like that are usually packed in Sphagnum to prevent them from drying out during their sometimes long journey to our local markets. There was a vendor (I forget the name) at the recent Deep Cut Orchid Society Show, she had the cutest mini Phals, really sweet looking. They were all in Sphagnum. Glare She told me that she can't wait to travel to Taiwan again to pick up more of those nice Phals. Knowing my poor track record with any orchid in Sphagnum moss I had to walk past her table. She had some gorgeous other stuff too - all in Sphagnum. Big sigh on my part, but I really didn't feel like buying them and then having to repot everything.
Something to look out for....
