Hi guys, now this is not a complain but a sigh of relief. I had this phal wich bloomed for over 18 months stright I had to remove the spike for it to rest. It was in spag when I got it and by yhe time I repotted it only three roots we're left. I repotted in a bark mix in november of last year not wanting to wait any longer well its now the begining of february and this orchid has put out over twenty new roots I am amazed at it. Goes to show when an orchid want to live it put out everything. I just wanted to shere my joy with my family here. We mostly post pic with sick or dying orchid seeking advise as to how to treat a wide range of issues. Well just thought I would post a few pic of a big sucess. And of an orchid which decided your not getting rid of me that easily. :). This pic is of the entire plant lots of long nice leaves. I will post two others so you can see both the back and front of the plant. Roots everywhere. Enjoy. VELLETA.
