Anyone have a solution to keeping a phal with really long leaves manageable? I don't have the option of mounting.

Not much you can do really. Just let it do it's thing. Your idea of propping them up works just fine, or you can tilt the front of the pot up just a little. It's just what they do.

Haha, a 10 inch leaf span is medium sized. Just wait. Some of these can get really big... I've got a few that are growing proverbial legs out of their leaves.

Thanks Bob. I got this from Orchids Limited. I think it's preparing to set another spike as we speak, but the nubbin is a bit small to make a final call. It's probably a root. Lvoe this flower. Super fragrant

Who said a pod isn't already on it, or that it's pollen wasn't put to good use?
