I have a small Phrag. bessae and it doesn't look very happy. I bought it 2 month ago and it came in fine bark.
I was thinking to move it to s/h. Is there anybody growing his/her bessae in s/h?

...How do you grow yours? I'm curious about substrate, fertilez, light... :) anything.
Any advices are more than welcome.

Thank you.

Some growers have great success growing besseae plants in s/h. Use pure clean water, that is the key. Fertilize lightly, moderate bright light with humid conditions.

I had mine sitting in a pan of water. I cleaned out and put new water in every other day. It was in a bark medium, and it received a bright light with warm temperatures.

You are most welcome! I think you should leave it in bark a little longer since you only had it for two months. It takes time for plants to acclimate to new environments.
