Drooping leaf on Phal

[dreamynights]

Hey All,

I bought my first orchid in Dec 2012 and the first year it was not the healthiest Phal. I had some problems with root growth, some mold and bugs. No surprise when it didn't spike the first winter. However, since then I have had tremendous progress on the plant and I have been excited since I feel like it might bloom this year. There are a lot of healthy roots, no more bugs, and grew 2 new leaves.

The only thing I felt it was really missing was that it might have too little sunlight. The leaves were always a deeper green vs a light green. This year I put it by the window sill where it gets about 3 or so hours of direct sunlight. The top leaf would always turn to the sunlight and I would occasionally rotate the plant so it would grow straight up. Last week the leaf was pretty crooked, at around a 30-40 degree angle when I watered it. The leaves still remained on the darker green side so I decided to move it over where it gets even more direct light, about 4-5 hours. I turned the tilted leaf away from the sunlight so it would grow straight.

However, instead of growing straight, the leaf COMPLETELY flopped over away from the sun, it falls now at about a 90 degree angle. I am wondering if this could be caused by too much sunlight or heat? The leaves still do not look very light or yellow and I see no signs of sunburn. The other thing is that maybe I physically damaged the leaf somehow but I don't see any actual creases on the leaf and still has some resistance when I push against it. I've attached some pictures of its flop and close ups of where it is bending cause the area looks pretty smooth.

I am currently moving the plant back to the spot with less sunlight and supporting the leaf up. Does anyone know what might be the cause? And do you think the plant will have a chance of spiking this year even with this type of damage?
