| Before you change any of your watering habits, I'd like to ask a few questions:
1) How long have you had these Phals and/or how long have you bee watering them in this way?
2) Are they growing for you?
3) Are they blooming for you?
4) When you repotted, did oyu have any rotted roots?
I ask all these questions because most of us water many (most?) of our orchids using what you call the "top down" method, simply watering the top of the pot and letting it drain out the bottom. This may be perfectly find for you. If your plants are healthy and happy, I would not be fast to change anything.
