Bloom orientation and timing question.

[greenpassion]

Okay I think this is going to be a strange question, but here goes. I have two setups in my living area. One is on a central counter under LED track lighting, and the other is in the same room, in the picture window. I now have all but two of my phals in bud or bloom. Some of the ones in the window are just so beautiful, but they're all facing the glass, away from me,being behind the couch that I unfortunately spend too much time on. This couch faces the counter with the other phals that are in bloom, and I can sit and look at them while either watching TV, or reading. Don't mean to be confusing here. My question here is this. Can I take some of the
phals from the window, the ones that are bloomed, and switch them out with some that are in the central area of the living room, that are also bloomed, without a problem for them? I just keep thinking about when people buy phals already in full bloom from big box stores, and bring them home, the flowers on these plants don't turn every which way at that point. With that said, wouldn't it make sense that I can move these guys around to where I can easily see them? Without screwing up the orientation issue? I've been growing these orchids for several years, but this is my very first time growing in my living room window as well as the ones under lights. So this is a first for me. It is also a first for me to have nearly every single pal that I have in bloom, or about to bloom.

Once the flowers are all open there is no problem at all to move the plant somewhere else. Phototropism is only a problem with developing buds, once the flowers are open they stop tracking the light likely because all growth has stopped in the peduncle.

I actually do that all the time. My Phals stay on their shelves by the window until they are in full bloom, and then I move them to various places in the living room so that I can enjoy them from the couch. Once the blooms fall off I move them back to the shelves.

Oh thank you Camille so much! I'm so glad that you have put my question to bed!

Yep, I do it all the time.

Good! When they're all In Bloom I'll set them in various places around the room and send in pics! So I can leave where they are and they look fine.
