Sorry, haven't been around this week to receive replies to this thread
that I started. Thanks, Larry, for your input.

Now I have another question.

I have a phal that is not looking so hot. It is the only one of my
phals that has so many of its roots outside the pot. And they're long.

It is the oldest of my plants but up until a month or so ago it was
doing fine. It bloomed this year and the last four blooms are still on
the plant.

However, the whole thing seems to have gone limp. The blooms are limp.
The leaves are limp. The leaves have lines in them from tip to base and
look very sick indeed. However another leaf is growing up in the centre
that looks healthy so far.

I mist my phals every morning, concentrating on getting the spray on the
exposed roots. Have I been doing something wrong? I have stopped
misting the sick one for a week or more now but it hasn't helped.

Anyone got any ideas? Do I need to be repotting?
