I read somewhere that Hawaiians tie phals to tree barks and leave them to grow. Inspired, I stripped the phal at home of rotting rots and sodden moss and found one good root. (I guess this is the reason for the baby leaves.) It now lies bare assed in a glass bowl and gets a spritz twice a day, or whenever it looks thirsty. There's one at the office that is still alive after three weeks but I'm not going to take chances. I hope to tie it on something and hang it way down the end of the blinds. The light at the office is wonderful, just that the place is a trifle dusty
