Mushy leaves on my Phalaenopsis?

Sorry. I'm used to folks wanting to cut leaves and worried about flower spikes and such. The term "messing around" was somewhat tongue and cheek meant to convey to just let the plant do what it wants. Many folks worry about yellow, limp leaves which are really just giving up their energy stores to promote new growth or flowers. Since yours is producing new spikes it must be happy. Good growing.
