Hi, Elaine. I've been out playing in the garden as it is a reasonably nice day here. Ursula (RUK) gives good advise so I would listen to it. Varigation is a mutation and often times plants try to get back to normal. I have had plants where I had to cut off new growth that was not varigated in order to encourage the varigation. If the plant wants to revert back badly enough, there is little you can do to stop it. If the plant looks healthy, be happy and let it be. Phals do just fine mounted and aerial roots will cling to wood if they encounter it. I think you once ask me to post an older phal that was climbing out of its pot and it slipped my mind. Sorry. Here you go.
