Personally, I like the lush look of a less-organized phal. I have a Phal. fasciata that has a bunch of growth leads and it is lovely. You may be surprised.
That is absolutely beautiful!! You're also right about the lower leaves dropping off eventually. I didn't think of that. I was also thinking that if I left it on I could start to grow out a specimen plant and given each plant seems to produce multiple spikes it could be quite spectacular. Never having had a keiki before this never crossed my mind. I have another mini that is also giving me multiple spikes so I'm wondering if it might also give a keiki at some point. Go figure... both are NOIDS from a grocery store. LOL
