The pictures are of Dtps. Winter Clouds 'Mendenhall' AM/AOS. The largest leaves are 10 inches long and tip to tip it is nine inches wide. Does anyone know how big this will grow to at maturity? Look at the roots on it! I need to repot it. I have it in a bigger heavy pot since it won't sit upright. The pot is four inches. Any suggestions on a new pot size?

I have the Taipei Gold hybrid and I so want it to bloom. It's certainly my largest Phal.

How long have you had it? Did you get it from C&H?

Mine is in a 3 inch pot. It has a 9 inch span from tip to tip of the two largest leaves.

When it blooms, please post a picture

I got it this winter. It's in the same pot but with moss and styrofoam in the middle. I'd say it probably has the same leaf span. The grower said it would likely bloom this summer.
