Leaning phal
Default Leaning phal

I recently repotted a phal from tightly packed moss to bark, and it is now is leaning (not completely flat, more like 30-45 degrees), but away from the sun. It seems to me that naturally, they lean towards the sun, and if that's correct, will it be detrimental to the plant's development to lean in the other direction (backwards)?

The only way I can straighten it out is to prop it up with a lot of chips, but I'm afraid that this might keep too much moisture touching the bottom leaves (though I have a feeling they will be shed soon due to repotting/root-clipping stress). The phal has 9 leaves currently.

Do you think I should I repot/reposition, prop it with chips, tie it to a stake, or leave as is?
