You have to feed them. They are good drinkers but not a good eaters.

[nogueras19]

you should use transparent pots because roots are also phtosynthetic and need light

(excume for my english, I'm spanish)

I am sorry, but this is not the correct way to repot a phal... roots need to be trimmed and potting mix needs to be soaked before potting... I could continue, but maybe I will just make my own video.

Thanks for the advice!

I always check my roots and clean them off, cut off the dead ones before repotting

Use an ORCHID-HYDROPONIC set. Orchids or hyproponic by nature anyway...No mess. No decomposing potting materials, etc, etc....
