Have you considered trying one mounted? Ive been wanting to experiment with phals on mounts. Since you are down south in the warm humid zone, they should do well that way. I know everyone (almost) pots their phals. Every once in a while i see one mounted, and think they look so much cooler and realistic that way.

I am able to grow a mounted Phal in my apartment in NYC. The humidity gets very low, and what I did was wrap its roots in sphag. I heavily mist once a day, and the plant could use better lighting, but otherwise is doing well. So its not drying out. Once the summer comes with its heat waves and mucky humidity, Im sure it will do better.
