1. The reason why the Phal is "potted at a funny angle" is because
most Phals DO NOT grow upright in the wild. There are now a reasonable amount of photos and videos you can search on the web of Phals growing in the wild. It is the person's attempt to leave the Phal growing the way it would eventually naturally orient itself over time should the person ever try to grow it straight up.
If you tried to grow the Phal perfectly upright, guess what, in a matter of 1 month you would see the Phal "leaning" on the side of the pot and I would predict, (with a fairly high amount of precision), that your next post will be regarding this "strange phenomenon" when it really isn't strange at all, (not for the people who are aware of how Phals naturally grow, and definitely not for the Phal itself).
Here's a link to a YouTube video that shows a Phal growing in the wild:
