As the Title say, as some of you may recall that I posted a picture of my Phal that is leaning on 1 side. Anyhow, it have added a new leaf since then. But the problem is the leave is bigger and still not grown to the fullest. I am kinda worry about it as the leaf not only bigger but it kinda lean downward.

It is alway sitting on a shelf with it's leaf backwards in the hope it's leaf will grow towards the sun instead it was drooping down till i find it awkward to take it out to water it. It is still sitting on it spot but this time the leave drooping towards the window.

Should i be worried about it or just leave it as it is. I decide to post the before and after picture.

Here's a picture you seen last time...

The fact that it is bigger then previous leaves - is a good thing. Each new leaf is supposed to grow bigger and if it isn't - you have some problems, most of the time -roots problem.
Leaves do tend to lean toward the light. I would just let it do whatever it pleased to as soon as it grows and is healthy.

Those huge leaves tell me that you're doing a good job of growing those orchids. The new leaves are not as strong as the mature leaves and they can often flop over or hang down until they get stronger. I wouldn't worry about it. If you want to, you could use some artificial means of holding the leaf in the position you want, until it grows stronger. Personally I would just let it do whatever it wants to.

a couple of mine have new leaf growth much larger than previous. It does look lopsided. I think its because they are getting dappled sun - or lets say an optimum amount of sunlight.
Additionally, it may also be the species/grex. I noticed that my violaceas, equestris/hybrids all have sequentially larger leaves. My equestris is so big that I worry its going to topple over...
