    Hi , I grow all my Phal. species in Spag. and any seedlings . I use small shallow plastic containers like Tupper ware with extra holes in the bottom and the sides made with a sodering iron, if you use a regular pot add styrofoam peanuts to take up some of the depth . Small pieces of styrofoam are added to the Spag.it is not packed tight so air can get to the roots . The object is to let them dry as fast as possible but not bone dry . The leaves on yours might be from root loss . being kept to wet . The violaceas are prone to rot , just my humble opinion . Hope you can save them that is a very nice violacea. Gin

    Hey Everyone thanks for your responses.
    I'm a little concerned about humidity....how much would be good, I keep things in my orchid growing area at about 70 percent day in day out, and everything including my bellinas are doing great.....
    Should I try increasing the humidity for the seedlings?
    Thanks

    70% should be excellent for the seedlings .
