I just replanted a phal. The planting medium that I got is some kind of bark chips. It appears to dry out very quickly and when I water it, the water just runs out the bottom immediately.
The plant is doing fine. It has a flower spike that is growing so the replanting when well.
Should I mist the wood chips? I'd rather not start misting the plant because I have had really good luck with the other five plants that I have and I've never done any misting.
I'm just concerned that this repotted plant is drying out too quickly.
By the way - I LOVE this newsgroup. You guys have given me such great advice and I'm slowly becoming addicted to the wonderful plants.
