I'm talking about the regular kind of Phals, not anything really exotic. Bit how big can these normal store-bought Phals grow? Just wondering.

I see some pretty BIG ones around here sometimes. The one that stands out in my mind had individual leaves that seemed close to 16 inches! That one was at a local greenhouse that sold "standard" and "disposable" Phals.

Phals can get huge! My biggest phal has a 22" leafspan, but I've seen gigantic phals in stores with leafspans over 2 feet and more.

Leafspan was what I wanted. But all the other info is neat too.

Wow! I hope my Phals get to be that huge! :3
