Thinking about dumping Phals.
 
Ive been contemplating for a while. I have a problem with my phals. They are full sized but when they shoot out a new leaf it is a half sized leaf :( they have fine root systems also. I dont know what to do anymore. I have had one for almost three years now and diddnt have problems till this year. Side note... i havent fertilized for a year or so... it isnt over fertilizing lol

Lack of fertilizer could be the issue.

How would you survive with no food? Feed weakly every week. I like 1/2 the recommended rate. That is why your leaves are half the size.

Yes, what was said by James and Jayfar.

Phals are heavy feeders.
