Default The sun and bloom stalk manipulation

Hello. I have a spiking phal. When downstairs the bloom stalk was growing more upright. I then placed the phal. upstairs where the oaks did not shade out the sun as much. Now the bloom stalk is more horizontal. Could I manipulation the stalk by turning the phal. a quarter during a week to create a better display when it blooms?

We could learn a lot from crayons: some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, some have weird names, and all are different colors....but they all exist very nicely in the same box. ...Hmmm? .
