I do not think a Phal could look much better than this.

I is approaching its natural growth pattern with the roots at the top and the leaves and flowers down.

since you have two Phal in the same pot (they are two separate plants) the roots are intertwined and re-potting is a problem. It is not going to fall out of the pot. you will find if you do re-pot that the plant is anchored into the pot probably with some roots glued to the clay. If you are worried of tipping by weight you could put it on a wall with a pot clip (very natural growth pattern).

Re-potting to straighten the plant will never be totally satisfying since the leaves are extra long.

You might notice that the leaves are not totally covering each other as most Phals in pots. This is because they are growing down and in nature they half cover each other to have half of each leaf facing the light.
