| In the wild phals will usually grow the oppposite to geotropic, as the roots are what holds them to their perch.
From the crown rot business I would guess they have to grow with the crown facing downwards, at least slightly (if crown rot isn't something created by cultivation i dunno ).
For the leaning phals I've had, I put them into a larger pot, so the leaves leaning over can rest on the outer pot. They seemed very happy with this, and then when it can to repotting, i just tried to make the base of the plant more central in the pot. |
