limp/drooping leaf or not?

[englandfx]

Well my phal .... in just three days, the very top leaf on the right side has gone limp? Or is that just natural for it to curve downwards?

I noticed the leaves have gotten bigger for the past week, so could that have contributed to the leaves getting heavier resulting in the downward curve?

Here are some pics. What do u think?
The blue arrow is pointing at the limp leaf in question, while the black arrow is pointing at the very first leaf at the bottom which is not limp at all.

Hi
Overall the plant looks ok.
The way it is bending down can be cause by several conditions.

1; lack of a combination of warmth and plenty of water and well fertilized.
The extra heat will give better growing conditions.

2; The mix looks very dry and in the open pot/tray it will dry out more quicker!

3; leaves colour looks good.

4; Now saying all that, there is no problem with the leaves bending down like that. Perfection is not so easy to obtain.

5; On the bottom left leaf you have the start of shot hole/fungal problem, keep an eye on it so it does not spread

Cheerio

If you just recently repotted in that mix of bark you might need to soak the entire pot/media/roots in a bucket or other container when you water for awhile. If the bark is not absorbing and retaining enough moisture you may be slowly beginnint to desiccate your plant - which will cause the leaves to continue their drooping even more. Another option may be to just water more often? What is your temperature & humidity like & how often are you presently watering this plant?

Agree, you need to give it a good soak weekly or thereabouts.
