Orchid is doing so much better in water it had pests eating its roots when it was in orchid bark. Only one little root survived.

I’m glad your orchid seems to be doing better. Curious- what kind of pests did you have in the bark? Also- I don’t know enough about how orchids grow in water, but I am so very hesitant about this hydration technique. Epiphytic orchids, like your phal here, need to have time for their roots to dry out between waterings. I would be very afraid of eventual root rot. Do you take it out of the water for a couple days when you change out to fresh water? Do you live in an extremely dry climate? I’m intrigued.

I really don’t know enough about water culture. In my research and my own experience, that’s what I would do- let the root dry a bit between dunking. I can see this being a great care technique as you are rehydrating and promoting new root growth, but long term I would see it as a major risk for root and stem rot. But again, take that with a grain of salt, because I am no water growing expert.
