How much handling can Phal Take??

[Rachelle-lapensee]

I have a question to ask... I hear that phals don't do well when moved, or disturbed. Is there any truth to that? Will it stunt the growth of the plant or will it kill it? Where do you draw the line between to much handling and just enough? Is it going to bug the plant and you happen to brush it's leave every once and a wile?

Hopefully someone can help me with this little question...

Thank-you

I don't know what you've heard, but healthy Phals are tough plants, and certainly no more prone to harm when moved or touched than any other plants. Probably much less so than most you've plants you are familiar with.
