soaking phal's?

Goodafternoon,

I'm new to this forum, hereby I'd like to say hello

After reading several pages of the newbie questions I came to the conclusion that I'm probably an under-waterer. I don't soak my phals, give them a bit of water from top down every week- 2 weeks. They stand in front of the window, the window only has direct sunlight from 'bout 4pm 'till the sun goes down. I live in Antwerp, Belgium.

The leafs of my phals look rather leathery though the areal roots got green points and two of my 4 phals got a basal keiki (since their last repot +/- 4 months ago, did that 'cause the keiki?).

Now i'm thinking it might be a good idea to soak them, since only one of them bloomed again since i got them 2-3 years ago. May I put them all together in the sink for half an hour or so? Or does it 'cause troubles if you put them all together in the same water?

All feedback is appreciated, since they look rather sad atm.

Greetz
Sarah
