    Unhappy More than one year and no roots yet!

    I know I can check all the post from others here to get the info I need, but... it's so overwhelming! I've been reading threads for a couple of days and I get distracted! hahaha
    I bought this phal' almost 2 years ago and repotted twice. It looked healthy until now. It's not growing any roots and its leaves are getting thiner and wrinkly. originally (from the store)was potted on sphagnum moss but I switched to bark mix from that same place I bought it. BTW, the special mix for phals it's terrible, it killed some of my plants.
    What can I do to promote root growth? it's a very big plant, I already cut 2 sets of leaves to see if it helps it. it's been in my bathroom for the last 4-5 months, it gets low light and the moisture every time someone showers... I don't water too much, probably once every other week.

    Plant 2, no picture: I just noticed today that a different phal' just turned yellow an upper leaf. it took 4 days to happen since I water last time. it's very healthy (I think!) and it has lots of new roots that I can see in its clear pot, it seems like it's turning yellow from the center outward. ...any ideas?? thank you guys!
