This one of my young phals.

The leaf on your right seem to be out of place.

Beautiful!
Your plants always look so healthy, with nice shiny leaves. Do you do anything special to get / keep them looking that way??

So very nice Mervin. I have this also and it has a spike. If it flowers it will be the first time and I kind of doubt it is what it's labeled. ' -)
Will second the applause for your plants leaves. Always so clean and shiny. Happy growing!!

Hahaha !
Thank you.

The ones I posted are the nicer ones, I have plenty which are blemished.
Perhaps I should post all my phals that are demaged during my learning curve.

Anyway, this what I picked up for nice looking leaves.
1 - The secret is no chemicals on the leaves, all fert. goes to the roots.

2 - Very minimum or no direct sunlight, only bright reflected light.
Leaves will be darker green rather then lighter shade or yellow or worst, burned !

3 - Clean the leaves with a moist cotton pad or ball once in a while.
