Out of my 20 phals, the only one that has ever split on the tips is the Dpts. Each leaf is about 8-10 inches long. The split on two of the leaves is about an inch to an inch and one-half from the tip in the center crease. Doesn't seem to have any effect on the growth of the plant.
Solay, yours may have had a slight split at the tip and then became damaged from some other means. I wouldn't worry about it. Mine are misted a couple times a week and I keep the humidity min. of 50% and I still have some splits on this one. That's the best I can do and this plant keeps blooming and blooming with no problem. So, she's gotta' few cracks - don't we all?
