I have this phal and the flowers are way to heavy. I repoted it( Bad me) while in bloom. So know that its repotted the roots havent yet attached to the media and now the plant is tiping over. I dont want to damage the roots but I also want to enjoy the flowers. I am clueless on what to do.

You could use a stake to hold the plant and the floral spike straight.

Better still will be two stakes- one long and one short. Use the long one on the side it is tipping over and the short one on the opposite side.

Good luck.

IT WORKED. I used two bamboo sticks I had lying around and two hair pins.

Thanks Pikevi
