Default Mounted Phal. I_Hsin George

George was top heavy from the beginning, but new leaves strted to come out so large,long and floppy that top started to lean down too much almost creasing the crown.
I tried to put some support into pot and broke one of the new leaves(luckily not the newest).
Now, I have mounted it upside down so the crown would just hang . Was it a good decision? Does it look ok?

seems like a reasonable solution - George sure looks healthy!

I'd really considering trying to "strap" some of those aerials to the mount and put some moss over them. I'm not sure how high your humidity is, but such a big plant is gonna need a lot of water, so keep that moss ball pretty wet. Looks like a great plant, and it's a great problem to have to figure out how to grow a specimen...
