I think my phal is trying to commit suicide

Well you have done all you have to help it ..
What is your watering routine? Be sure not to overwater it.
I let my hybrid phals go from 5 - 7 days before I soak them. I water my species phal every 3 - 4 days depending on much the medium holds the moisture (determined by the relative humidity)
What kind of light are you growing it under? You may need to gradually move it to a stronger light source .. not direct sunlight, mind you, as you can easily burn the leaves.

Good advice. I like to provide my Phal with as high light as I can given the outside conditions. Never full sun, but dappled sun is OK - you know, spots of sunlight here and there? That's after I get back in the house from snowblowing (and put on my clothes) http://www.orchidboard.com/community...html#post67620
