I had a similar problem with my phals, which are in sp. moss, and in plastic pots. I think I have over sprayed them. I have them on a humidity tray full of pebbles. I keep the tray filled with water, and put the pots atop piles of pebbles. Yet for all that, I believe some of the sp. moss absorbed water from the tray. One of the plants was so wet, that roots that were green only last week, are now gray. I resorted to SQUEEZING the plastic pots and got lots of water out... it just streamed out. I feel like a failure.

I've been concerned that I've had no spikes yet. I keep my phals in front of an east facing window. Now that it's winter in Southern California, I'm keeping the window open to cool these little critters in hopes they'll give me some spikes.

I think orchids are here to teach us patience.
