Be careful with squatter pots for s/h as this can cause root rot.Put 1 of my
Phal gigantea seedlings in a little pot & within a week most of the roots turned black.It,s in a taller s/h pot now & it seems to be picking up(new leaf starting & i can see a green root advancing on the res).
If it,s got good roots i would look elsewhere for a reson for slow growth.
Light levels would be my first area to look @.
Mind you some Phals do grow slowly
Phal gigantea for example.
