Hi Sandra,

I generally see aerial roots produced only after the pot is full of
roots or the conditions in the pot are not quite right. Very high
humidity seems to sometimes confuse roots into going aerial as well. I
am happiest when everything heads straight down into the pot where the
water and nutrients are.

Hello Everyone,
I have a question about aerial roots.
Recently my phals have been sprouting new growth and new roots, they
seem to be growing almost every other day, but there's no sign of
aerial roots on any of them.
The tempratures in the room where I keep the orchids never go below
69
degrees at night, or above 83 degrees in the day.
The humidity during the day is about 68-76 percent, while at night
it's
about 77-82 percent.
Could this be a sign that my phals are not happy in their current
surroundings....?
I also recently started growing under lights, I measured, they get
rougly about 800 foot candles of light for 9 hours every day
Thanks
Sandra
