Phals naturally grow down from tree branches not up wards in a pot.

The natural tendency of the plant will be to grow down over the side of the pot.

You can compensate for this by re-potting regularly and repositioning the plant.

If it has fallen out since you got it, then the roots will be loose in the pot. You can avoid this with pot clips next time you re-pot.

If you continue to grow them in a pot vertical, avoid getting water in the crown (the portion between the leaves) as this has a tendency to rot.
