Phalaenopsis in Slat Baskets: Sideways Mounting in Florida

Repotting Root-Bound Phals into Hanging Baskets

Hollywood, FL. Phals severely root-bound, unhappy. Want to hang sideways in slat baskets (like nature). Media? Moss compacts—bark + moss cover?

Slat Basket = Great for FL Rain

Sideways lean prevents crown rot from frequent rain.

Media: Little Bark + Moss

Just enough to cover roots initially. Roots will grow through slats & hang. Mist hanging roots daily/every 2 days to prevent drying.

Daily watering needed if no moss. Bark+moss buffer helps.
