Beautiful! i love the light yellow in it! I have to say no no no to a lot of phaels at my local walmarts, but sometimes they just jump in my cart and follow me home!

That's a massive plant. I don't think I've seen a mini phal of that size in a store before, not with that much flowering activity.

Very nice. Thanks for sharing the photos.. There is so much beauty in those stores.. All neglected, until one of us goes by and falls in love.

This little guy took a turn for the worse, the roots have started to rot and the leaves are getting really bad

So I am thinking I will cut the flower spikes off I think leaving them on will stress it to much.

Then repot it again to get all the bad roots off.

and hope that it will turn around

I saw that same phal (a few of them too!) at a grocery store last month.
I thought they were so cute with so many little white flowers on many spikes. With my hands already full, I thought I would come back the following day.
Well, I did and did not see any left. lol
